East Leinster Schools Track & Field 29 April

The East leinster schools track & field championships  were held today in a cold and blustery Morton Stadium, Santry. Deirdre Healy won the girls senior 1500m in convincing style. Adopting a conservative approach early on, Deirdre tracked the leaders for the first 600m before making her effort and winning by over 100m in just over 5 minutes. Deirdre will now contest the Leinster 1500m in mid May and that should be a cracker of a race with several of the finalists having already posted in the region of 4 min 40 sec.
