Pictured above are Richard Lucas and Alan Slattery of our U17 boys who both ran brilliantly today to get individual medals as top 8 finishers and made the County team to get silver medals also. Both lads were delighted with their performances and the Club are equally delighted they are particiapting so well at training and showing how it can all pay off.
At the other end of the age groups Waterford AC made a huge impact on preceedings with an outstanding run from both Lindsey McGuire (Pictured above) and Emma Caulfield. Lindsey won the race from a very full and competive field and both herself and Emma helped the county team to come away with the Bronze. A great performance by both young athletes. Emma is pictured below showing off her county medal with her Proud mother, Cait, who later in the day won county Gold and Club silver medals in the Masters Ladies 3000m gruelling race. Well done to her team mates (Parents of Juvenile members also, in Silvia Malone and Suzanne Dullaghan).
The coaches at Waterford AC Juvenile Section congratulate our up and coming athletes on a great days running and are delighted with the feedback that all enjoyed their day. While medals are nice to win we are delighted that you are all out there participating, competing with the best and representing your club and county and enjoying each others company. Well done all and see ye Tuesday and Friday.

Other great performances were Jake Bagge, boys U9 who came away with individual silver and county Bronze, and Caroline Farrelly, girls U17 individual bronze. Also great performances from our U13 girls of Gyneth Blair, Megan Carroll and Emma O'Brien. Similarly, Conor Quinn had a great individual performance in the Boys U 13 and showed us all how well the experience of competing in rough conditions in the All-Irelands last week served him. He ran very well today and gained ground throughout the race and was the 2nd man counting for the county.
And last but by no means least, our boys u11 team stole the day with exceptional running from our well experienced team of Hugo Blair, (1st individual), David McGlynn, Luke O'Brien, Fergus O'Brien and Jamie McCarthy. These boys won county gold earlier in the season and after some bad colds they are all back fitting fit and today they won silver in the club prize and, combined with west Waterford runners, Hugo and David came away with county gold medals. Between batteries failing in our cameras and phones two of our happy campers were caught (on a dsi or psp or some gadget like that?) celebrating their silverware below:
