Great trip to national T&F Championships

With AAI providing a free bus, free entry and a lovely Assics T shirt for all the Juveniles who did the fitness test a great day was had at the national Track & Field championships at santry, Dublin last Sunday. Athletes were very willing to give autographs and we even got to run a lap of the track at the end! 2012 Olympians Paul Hession, Derval Rourke, Colin Griffin and Jessie Barr were very popular and gave plenty of time chatting with the kids. Some photos from the day:
