Jersey girl Shadine Duquemin goes in discus - I remember the day I handed her a discus for the very first time, she was nine. *Proud*

Pherekydes

Aislinn Crossley and Siofra Cléirigh-Buttner both qualified for the 800m final! AC ran a PB of 2:05.50. The women's (and men's) 800m are rapidly becoming two of our strongest events.

Pherekydes

Phil Healy, 2nd in her SF, qualifies for the 100m final.

Slow time for Siofs.

It's all about qualifying. I'd imagine she's the better bet for a medal.

Pherekydes

Seán Tobin won his 1500m semi in 3:50.31, with Shane Fitzsimons run out of it.

Ruairi Finnegan finished 3rd in a PB 3:44.60 in a much faster 2nd semi.

...and qualifies for the final though way below her best.

Cheers ecoli

Tobin pulled out after 400m. Hope he was saving himself for the 1500m tomorrow.

Correction: Sean Tobin ran around to finish in 2:12.

Pherekydes

Sarah Lavin won her hurdles' heat in 13.38 +1.0, just outside her PB of 13.36.

I must say, she seems to be consistently good.

ecoli

PB for Millet breaking 60. Very good run from her

karkar athlete

Nessa through to the final as 3rd fastest loser

YFlyer

Kiely 2nd with a PB of 52.10 . Looked relaxed when he finished.

YFlyer

Is it the same track as Komen 3000m WR?

Pherekydes

Lavin, 2nd in her semi in 13.45, comfortably qualifies for the 100m Hurdles final.

Pherekydes

A creditable 4th for Healy in the 100m. 11.96 -1.0

Anybody having any difficulty in trying to connect to the live stream in Reiti?

Pherekydes

Kiely, with a huge new PB of 51.65, qualifies for the 400m hurdles final.

Pherekydes

Lawler ran 20.88 in his semi. Britain's Leon Reid ran 20.62 to win his semi. Reid came to Rieti with a PB of 21.22.

sam30

great run for pb and silver for lavin

the_real_lamp

Aislinn Crossey 4th in the 800 with a PB of 2.03:93. Massive PB. Síofra Cleirigh Buttner was 8th in 2.06, not sure what happened there.
Hinriksdottir won gold for Iceland after winning the youth world gold last week. Unbelievable talent.

the_real_lamp

Sean Tobin 4th in the 1500m. Too many of these 4th places!!. Good performance though and a PB 3.45:63. Ruari Finnegan 7th.

backgreen

Rieti is a very fast track,guys have run times on this track that they have never come close to in other venues

the_real_lamp

Marcus Lawler 4th too!!

Pisco Sour

What a performance from Lavin. 13.34 and a silver medal. Plenty of good news stories from this sport this week if people are bothered to take note of them.

Pherekydes

The Men's 4x1 team set a national junior record of 40.60, but failed to qualify for the final.

Ben Kiely finished 6th in the one lap hurdles in 51.98.

Pherekydes

How did we do? A silver, 9 top eight placings and bunch of NJRs. 15th in the placings' table.

A fairly good showing. Some good talent coming through is good to see, especially in events that are already laden with talent, like the men's 400m Hurdles and the women's 800m. Success breeds success...

If we could just improve some of those 4th place finishes we would be laughing! I thought it was a very impressive showing at these championships and hopefully bodes well for the future if some of these athletes can come through to the senior ranks.
