Big shout out to our amazing strider women taking part in the virtual great pink run today .. and Eddie 😶..a special well done to Nicola who raised over €700 ! 💙🖤
A big happy birthday to Vance, from all Striders. Additionally, we are stopping the Monday / Wednesday sprint sessions, for Vance's group. This has been a really successful part of the Striders in recent years, with Vance providing a real focus on sprints and jumps. Our older juveniles achieved great results at county, provincial and national level in events where our club had no significant history of success. Hopefully we can keep up the high standards in sprint, relay, long jump, triple jump etc. set by this group. In addition to his coaching success, Vance has recently achieved Leinster and national success, participating in Masters throwing and jump events, for the Striders.
From all at the club, thanks so much to Vance for his dedication over the years, helping develop great athletes and great people.
A super Sunday training session in cbs pitch in pods of 15 athletes. Great running by all striders attending.
With current COVID-19 restrictions in place, USAC are not accepting any new Juvenile joiners until further notice. We have a responsibility to limit numbers and to track participation at juvenile training sessions, which becomes difficult to implement with new joiners.
We regret having to take this decision and will be making every effort to reverse it as soon as we can. But, for the moment...safety first!
