Pentathlon consists of 5 Track and Field events in total which include :
60m Hurdles, Shot Put, Long Jump, High Jump and the 800m run which is the final event of the day.
In Pat Comeys group we had 3 athletes who competed and surpassed their expectations.
These girls have worked extremely hard and are very committed to this sport.
They had tough competition with 28 in the Junior Age Group and with competitors from All Ireland Champs, this did not deter them in anyway.These girls were ready for action, they took on the challenge and conquered it.And to top it off there were quite a number for PB's from each of these girls for different events and not just one.
Jennifer Nugent - PB's in Hurdles with a new PB of 11.57, Shot Put with a new PB of 8.31 and her new PB in High Jump of 1.39
Leah Mahon - PB's in both Hurdles with a new PB of 11.32 and her new PB in High Jump of 1.51
Zoe McEvoy - PB's in both High Jump with a new PB of 1.48 and her new PB in the 800m of 2:32.36
