The u12 girls also competed well in the long jump, Sophie Quinn finishing 4^th with good jumping also from Sophie Greene and Aishling Strarford.

Amelia Campbell put in a great run also in her heat to make it through to the girls final where she finished 12^th. Fionn Drummond had a good run in the boys u13 600m finishing 2^nd in his heat and running a new pb to finish 7^th in the final.
