Myles Hewlett, who else! Wins another National medal at the Indoor championships over 800m. Having got caught up in a very tactical race with a lot of bumping and barging on the first and last laps Myles powered down the home straight and was only just beaten into 3rd spot by hundreds of a second. This race will be a good education in the “non contact” sport of 800m running. Well done Myles on a tough performance in a tough race.
In the Boys U17 800m, Adam O’Connor (United Striders) was desperately unlucky not to make the final, finishing 4th in his heat. He was paired with the eventual winner, Aaron Shorten, in an extremely tough heat. Adam produced an amazing last lap just missing qualification. He can be proud of his performance today. Just bear in mind that Adams final was won in 1.55, which gives an idea of the level he is competing at.
Isabel Bawden of United Striders came home in 6th in a very competitive U15 walk. Isabel can take great confidence in this performance as it shows she is well capable of mixing it with the countries best in her age group
United Strider’s man Ryan Kielthy won a great silver medal in the Boys u18 walk beaten only by his fellow county man James O’Hanlon from Taghmon. Massive congratulations to Ryan who’s never say die attitude and amazing determination always gets him great rewards in whatever he does. Great stuff Ryan.
In the Boys U16 1500m, Darragh Flannelly of United Striders AC had a cracking race. In what was a close finish with less than two seconds separating Darragh from a medal, he finished 6th. Yet more impressive was his time, an 8 second PB of 4:25. Darragh can now look forward to the Outdoor season with great confidence.

Well done to all our young Striders who took part in the Kilmacow Inter-club competition between St. Joseph's Athletic Club, St Senans AC, Waterford AC and United Striders Athletic Club yesterday evening.

Well done to all involved 👏 Enjoy the summer break. We look forward to seeing you all again next season 💪. Go Striders! 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏼 ... See MoreSee Less

County Track & Field, evening 1, EnniscorthyLuckily the rain held off to give us an enjoyable & rewarding evening, with a mix of age categories of U18, U19, Novice, Masters O35, Masters O50 and the very coveted Senior category.
3 Senior County titles - Thomas Harrington, David Larkin, Joe Lillis.
A fantastic mix of results with many Senior medals earned to take county titles. The men took 1, 2 & 3 in the Senior 800m and again in the Senior 5,000m.
Turnout was low, but the Striders made their appearance known. I thought maybe it was my eye sight as there was often a squibble of rain, but no, it was the Striders men or Kate coming again in another race, that familiar singlet of black with the white stripe making yet another round of the track!!!
A special mention and thanks to our Chair George Delaney and Sandra Young for taking charge of the registrations and results for the evening. And of course to all of the Wexford Athletics officials.
And to cap off a great evening, our ladies team was 3rd, and the men won the 4x400m Senior relays.
Drum roll please: 🥇🥈🥉
