The Winner of the 2023 Youth Award is Caolan McFadden, Loreto Community School, Milford and Cranford A.C.
It’s Caolan second time to win here having previously taken the Best Primary School Sports Star Boy Award in 2019. What made Caolan McFadden stand out last year was the consistency and spread of his triumphs.
The national success started in April when Caolan did the double at the National Indoor Championships winning both the 1,500 and 800m finals.
He rounded off the season at the National Uneven Age Cross Country Championships in Navan, taking gold in the boys U17 race.
There’s no doubt that Caolan is a special talent but he has also shown the dedication to turn that into success in virtually every race he enters.

It is expected to lift at 6am the following day
