The Ulster Masters Championships took place in Letterkenny at the weekend with seven athletes representing the club and all seven being crowned Ulster champions in various events.
Luke Mangan was in good throwing form bringing home Gold in both M35 Shot Putt & Discus, great to see Luke competing again. Club captain Charlie O’Donnell M45 ventured back onto the track and ran a strong 3000m taking Gold and finishing strong in a time of 10.01.71.
Sarah Mulholland swapped from being a coach to an athlete competing in the W50 200m & 800m and winning Gold & Silver respectively putting in a good solid performance in both. Emer Magee returned to the track and looked comfortable over 1500m and was delighted to bring home Gold in the W60 category.
Club captain Bernie Boyle followed up on her strong performance in Lifford two weeks ago to win Gold in the W45 3000m in a time of 11.28.90. Kelly Gallagher also swapped from coach to athlete and competed in her first T&F competition in W35 High Jump and Javelin bringing home Silver and Gold respectively. Good showing from the first timer and lots more to come from coach Kelly.
Kathleen McGonagle competed in W40 Shotput & Javelin. Despite being a complete novice in both Kathleen put in fine performances winning Gold in the Shot and Silver in the javelin. Good luck to Rosses athletes competing at All-Ireland schools this weekend in Tullamore.
