Irish Life Health National Juvenile Championships set to take place in Tullamore

The Irish Life Health National Juvenile Championships will take place in Tullamore over three days on July 3, 9 and 10.

Lucy McGlynn of Tír Chonaill AC has been performing incredibly in the hurdles this season, not looking out of place in the senior 100m and 400m hurdle finals last weekend and won senior bronze in the 400mH final. McGlynn is sure to be a major contender again at these championships, as will up-and-coming sprint star Lucy-May Sleeman from Leevale AC who could have a busy few days with entries in the 100mH, 100m, and 200m.

Sleeman provided one of the highlights of the indoor season in clocking a 7.43 CR for 60m to claim the U19 gold and is sure to be in the running for multiple golds over the next two weekends.

Maeve O’Neill of Doheny AC looks like the star name to look out for in the U19 800m. O’Neill looks set to take her place following a brilliant showing in a high-class field at seniors last weekend, continuing on from her brilliant indoor CR of 2.08.80 which saw her take over from Ciara Everard’s record of 2.09.74 in 2008.

Conor Callinan of Leevale secured the U19 juvenile pole vault title indoors earlier this year with a CR 4.35m which completed a remarkable indoor season for the Leevale star having already secured the senior and U20 titles. He continued to impress last weekend, claiming a bronze medal at seniors and looks the standout entry in the U19 pole vault competition on day three.
