SPORT: Carlow’s Leila Colfer European Youth Olympic Festival Results in the 100m heats

Carlow’s Leila Colfer competed on the track in the Girl’s 100m heats for the European Youth Olympic Festival on Monday.

Colfer finished in fifth place in a time of 12.20 just outside her personal best. 

Speaking on her performance afterwards, Colfer said, “I felt really good during the race, but I don’t think my start was as good as I wanted it to be. Getting here to compete against these girls has been a really good experience for me.”

Unfortuately the result won’t be enough to progress to the semi-finals Tuesday.  

However, we wish Leila the best of luck as she will compete in the relay for St. Laurence O’Toole Athletics Club at the end of the week.
