The All Ireland Track & Field Championships took place in Morton Stadium Dublin last Weekend (June 29th and 30th) and on day 1 Anna Ryan was first up to represent her club in the Women's Triple Jump where she put in a fantastic performance.
Ranked 4th best on paper before the competition Anna knew she had to jump close to her best or even better to feature and she did just that despite the wet conditions.
Jumping a new personal best of 12.03m to win a brilliant Bronze medal. Well done Anna!
Her older brother David Ryan was up next in the Mens 400m Heats with the Winner in each to automatically qualify with the 3 fastest times from all the finishers to compete for the medals on the Sunday.
David was drawn in Heat 5 the last one of the day so he knew he had to run fast regardless of placing, he went on to win a great race winning his heat in 47.15 seconds.
In the final on Sunday only 1 second separated the 1st 5 runners with David just finishing outside the medal placings on this occasion finishing in 5th place in a new personal best time of 47.02 a great championship performance nonetheless from David.
