Well done to all the guys who represented the club in Tullamore today and brought home a haul of medals. Pearse Coyle, John McCabe and Philip Halpin were the first to line up in the muggy afternoon heat for the men's 800m race. Pearse and John both scored silver medals in their age categories (M45 and M50 respectively), and Philip finished 5th in the M55 category. Stuart McLean then raised the bar with a brilliant performance in the 400m, which he won outright in a time of 55.30. The last individual events of the day were the men's 1500m races, in which four Rathfarnham athletes competed. Pearse Coyle had a great run to win the M45 category, Philip Halpin scored silver in the M55 category, John McCabe was 3rd M50, and Shane O'Neill picked up bronze in the M35 category. Full results are available on the AAI website, and some photos are in the gallery.
