Sarah Mulvaney Kelly broke new ground at the Irish Life Health Athletics Ireland Juvenile Championships in Tullamore as she set a new championship best record while her North Leitrim AC clubmates Karen Mulvaney Kelly, Scott Williams and Luke Fitzmaurice also claimed medals. It was a double celebration for the Mulvaney Kelly family as Sarah’s sister Karen also took home gold in the U15 walk while the county’s strong race walking tradition was further strengthened when Luke Fitzmaurice claimed silver in the U16 walk. Leitrim's Gerard O'Donnell appointed as new Coach Education manager for Athletics Ireland And on the first weekend of the championships, Scott Williams (North Leitrim) claimed bronze in the U13 Shot. There was some heartbreak too with Dean Williams and Luke Fitzmaurice both finished fourth in the U16 discus and U17 hammer respectively. For Sarah Mulvaney Kelly, it was a gold medal record setting day as she won by just over half a minute in the U14 walk. Her time of 10.03.41 also took more than six seconds off the previous championship best performance of 10.09.89 set by Alicia Boylan of Monaghan Phoenix back in 2009. Second in the race last Saturday was Moy Valley’s Lillian O’Brien (10.34.44) with Taillte O’Callaghan of Tuam finishing third (10.39.70) for a Connacht clean sweep. The Connacht theme was continued in the U15 girls walk as Karen Mulvaney Kelly claimed gold after a tough battle with two Tuam athletes. The North Leitrim AC walker finished strongest down the home straight to win in a time of 9.51.55 with India Cunniffe second in 9.54.73 and Savanagh O’Callaghan third in 9.56.30. Luke Fitzmaurice won a silver medal in the U16 3,000m walk as he finished in a time of 14.54.29 to claim the gold behind Moy Valley’s Seamus Clarke who clocked 13.52.30. Third place was Togher’s Shane Byrne who finished just over 20 seconds behind Luke with 15.17.74. Call for civic reception for Leitrim's Ricki Wynne following world record Sarah Mulvaney Kelly looked to be heading for
