Blackrock AC athlete claims national medal at Indoor Championships

Blackrock AC are already planning for a successful 2023. And what a way to open the new year, as one of their athletes produced a high-class performance at a National level.

In her first competitive outing post-Christmas, Aoibhinn McMahon produced a brilliant performance when competing in the Shot Putt at the 123.ie National Junior & U23 Championships.

Aoibhinn threw a personal best of 12.78m with a 4kg Shot to grab her spot on the podium at the National Indoor Arena, her PB being enough to land a hard-earned silver medal in the U23 event.

Elsewhere, the club are gearing up to host their Annual Cross-Country races on 29th January at the home of Geraldines GFC in Haggardstown. Racing starts at 12 noon, with events on the day for all age groups at uneven intervals from U7 – U19, plus an adults Fit For Life run to close out proceedings.

New members to the club are always welcome with training taking place on Monday evenings at the Dundalk Sports Centre – 6pm-7pm for ages 6-8, and 6:30pm – 7:30pm for ages 9+; and Thursday evenings at 6pm at DKIT Sport for all age other groups.
