The 4th DUBLIN OPEN GRADED MEET at the Morton Stadium in Santry last Wednesday (08.06.2022) incorporated the Dublin Open Championships. It proved a good evening for Donore Harriers athletes as Caoimhe Mackey (59.13) and Zak Higgins (49.88) were winners in the 400m categories. Michael McCarthy Snr won the High Jump competition with a best effort of 1.55m.
An improving Oliver Hopkins (3.59.15) broke the 4-minutes barrier when placing 2nd in his 1,500m Grade A race. Despite very blustery conditions Hopkins beat his personal best by 3-seconds. Gavin O’Rourke (3.58.91) of Leevale AC won the race. In the Dublin Open Championship Hopkins came 3rd as David Scanlon (3.58.20) of Rathfarnham AC took top spot having won the additional A race in a faster time.
Daragh McAuley (51.52) won the 400m B grade race with David Campbell 2nd in a time of 54.15.
Colm Dunne (12.64) and Michael McCarthy Snr (13.29) came 5th and 7th respectively in the Men’s 100m C grade race. Emmet O’Briain came 12th in the 1,500m B race in a time of 4.19.33.

The IRISH RUNNER 5-MILE ROAD RACE at the Phoenix Park on Sunday morning incorporated the NATIONAL 5-MILE ROAD CHAMPIONSHIPS. A shower of rain cleared as the race began and more than 700 runners followed a big lap along Chesterfield Avenue, Ordnance Survey Road, Upper Glen Road, Acres Road, and a small lap that repeated Chesterfield Avenue and Ordnance Survey Road before the long run in to the finish line on Furze Road.
Ben Guiden of Clonliffe Harriers took an early lead and romped to victory in 23.44. The battle to be the first Donore Harriers athlete home became a private duel between David McConn and Ian Fitzgerald. McConn (27.15) finished stronger to place 25th and 6th in the M40 category as Fitzgerald (27.29) felt the previous week’s Cork City marathon in his legs and had to settle for 29th position.
Des Tremble (27.53) was happy to get home in under 28 minutes. He placed 32nd overall and won the competitive M50 category with 16 seconds to spare over runner-up Arnaud Benjacar of Lucan Harriers. Next home was Alan Keogh (29.05) in 57th place and 10th in the M40 age-group. Peter Gaffney returned to competition by posting a time of 30.24 to finish 87th and 12th M50. Regular marathon runner Grace Kennedy (31.13) came 103rd overall and won an individual silver medal in the W35 age group. In the process she led the Donore Harriers W35 team to silver medals. Peter Nugent (32.39) came 139th and 17th in the M50 class, narrowly finishing ahead of Tony Kynes (32.57) who came 146th and 2nd in the M65 category. John Curran posted a personal best of 33.22 to cross the line in 152nd spot and 13th in the M45 category. Ray Armstrong (33.16), who used the race as a training effort, came 161st, Tom Fagan (34.22) was 165th, then Claire Mulligan (34.57) in 180th, followed by Mark Devine (36.24) in 230th, Margaret O’Brien (36.27) in 232nd and Angela Eustace (38.12) in 276th. There were 763 finishers.
The W35 team (1.44.35) of Grace Kennedy, Claire Mulligan and Angela Eustace came 2nd behind Brothers Pearse AC (1.39.27) in the National Championship.
The men’s senior team (1.51.45) of David McConn, Ian Fitzgerald, Des Tremble and Alan Keogh took bronze behind winners Raheny Shamrocks AC (1.47.04) and Liffey Valley AC (1.50.33). The M35 team came 8th of 11 teams.

It was a busy weekend of juvenile track athletics with 3 days of the DUBLIN JUVENILE TRACK & FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS at Santry. It all kicked off on Friday evening (DAY 2) with the focus on younger-ages middle-distance events. Donore Harriers had 7 members in action. In the Under 10 Girls 500m Sally McGowan (2.07.54) came 8th in Heat 1 and Maude Hickey (2.01.09) was also 8th in Heat 3. We had 3 boys compete in the Under 10s over the same distance. Michael McCarthy Jnr (1.58.77) came 10th in Heat 1, followed by Hugo Budura (2.06.17) 9th in Heat 2, and Bobby Farrell (1.56.28) 5th in Heat 3. Emani NiMeaghair (2.37.64) came 10th in Heat 2 of the Under 11 Girls 600m – and Lola Blake (2.32.12) came 8th in Heat 3 in the same category. There was plenty to cheer in Saturday’s DAY 3 OF THE CHAMPIONSHIPS. Chinonye Okwara threw a club record of 10.78m to take the gold medal in the Under 19 Girls Shot Putt. Okwara, coached by Gerry Ronan and a student at King’s Hospital College, is an exciting talent and a great addition to the team. Another athlete who is continuing to impress is Alex Leonard. The Lucan CBS student took gold in the Under 16 Boys 200m in a time of 24.61 having won his heat in 24.48. Ciaran O’Farrell came 6th in the same final in 26.57 having qualified 3rd in his heat in 27.17. Melody Omozee and Zion Osawe, both coached by Ray O’Keeffe and Alex Conway, dominated the Under 14 Girls 75m Hurdles competition and came away with the gold and silver medals. Omozee won the final in 12.91 with Osawe next in 13.05. Both girls qualified as heat winners – with Omozee (13.36) 1st in heat 2 and Osawe (13.07) 1st in heat 1. There was a strait final in the Under 14 Boys 75m Hurdles and a fine run by Eliott Whelan (14.51) saw him take the silver medal position. Roisin Kirby and Isabella Jackson both qualified for the final of the Under 16 Girls 200m. Kirby won heat 1 in 28.28 and Jackson was 3rd in heat 3 in 28.91. Kirby, a student at Mount Sackville College, won a bronze medal in the final with a time of 27.86 whilst Jackson came 7th in 29.56. Sophie O’Farrell also picked up a bronze medal in the Under 19 Girls 200m. Her time was 28.36. New member Luis Blinco just missed out on a medal in the Under 14 Boys 200m. He qualified 1st from heat 1 in 28.78, but an improved time of 27.84 saw him narrowly miss a podium place in 4th. His teammate Luuk Jackson won heat 3 in 28.77 and came 5th in the final in 29.45. Romeo Omozee came 5th in the final of the Under 17 Boys 400m in 55.60, and 4th in the final of the 100m Hurdles in 20.14. Another to just miss out on a medal was Ruby Blake, who qualified 3rd from heat 3 in the Under 13 Girls 60m Hurdles in 11.33 and then came 4th in the final with an identical time. The club had 3 competitors in the Under 14 Girls 200m. Zion Osawe (26.63) won heat 2 to make the final, but both Melody Omozee (30.05) and Rachel Dowling-Barnes (30.68) narrowly missed out on fastest loser spots as they placed 3rd in heats 4 and 5 respectively. Osawe came 8th in the final in 31.52. In the Under 15 Girls 200m Aoife Jackson (31.19) came 5th in heat 2 and Aoife Devine (30.16) was 3rd in heat 4 – neither progressed to the final. Oisin Cummins-Weiss (26.39) qualified as a fastest loser when finishing 5th in heat 1 of the Under 17 Boys 200m. Romeo Omozee (26.52) came 4th in heat 2 narrowly failing to progress. Cummins-Weiss did not contest the final to concentrate on the Shot Putt. Oisin Cummins-Weiss duly won the Under 17 Boys Shot Putt with a personal best throw. Romeo Omozee came 3rd in the same event. Also, out in the field Eimear Finn won the Under 18 Girls High Jump and Roisin Kirby was victorious in the Under 16 Girls Discus. Luke Hanly came 2nd in the Under 17 Boys High Jump. A busy Ruby Blake jumped 3.97m to win gold in the Under 13 Girls Long Jump, with Saoirse Jackson competing in the same event. Melody Omozee was just out of the medals with 4th place in the Under 14 Girls Discus.

The weekend weather remained unpredictable with ‘4 seasons in a day’ as the DUBLIN JUVENILE CHAMPIONSHIPS continued (DAY 4) at Santry on Sunday. The day’s competition began with the short sprints. Anabella Omozee won heat 6 of the Under 12 Girls 60m in 9.43 and later ran 9.15 to win the gold medal in a keenly contested final.
Olyver Whelan (9.80) narrowly failed to make the final of the Under 12 Boys 60m despite placing 2nd in heat 2. Max Henley-Willis (11.04) came 8th in heat 4 and also failed to progress. Donore Harriers had 5 competitors in the Under 13 Girls 60m heats. Emma Jane Keegan (13.55) came 6th in heat 2, Ruby Blake (12.39) was 2nd in heat 3, Petra Cunningham 7th in heat 4, Saoirse Jackson (12.98) 6th in heat 5, and Anna Peake (12.73) 2nd in heat 6. There were also 4 boys in the Under 13s sprints. Conor Garvey (12.44) came 3rd in heat 1, Hugh Cunningham (12.84) 3rd in heat 2, Sam Inverarity (13.03) 6th in heat 4, and Oisin O’Gorman (13.10) 6th in heat 5. None of the above qualified for the finals, but all will have benefitted from the experience of competing in a championship. In the Under 14 Girls 80m final Zion Osawe came 4th in 11.32. She qualified as a fastest loser when finishing 3rd in heat 3 in 11.76. Melody Omozee (11.99) came 4th in heat 4 and was eliminated.
Luis Blinco and Luuk Jackson having narrowly failed to make the podium in the 200m on the previous day were back in action in the Under 14 Boys 80m sprint. Luis (10.89) automatically qualified 3rd from Heat 2 and Luuk (11.40) got a fastest loser spot when 4th in heat 1. However, Luis Blinco was again left with the heartbreak of 4th place in the final with a time of 11.06, whilst Luuk came 9th in 11.59. In the Under 15 grade, Mario Omozee sprinted to 2nd place in the 100m final (strait) in 12.56 to claim the silver medal. Aoife Devine (14.58) came 9th in heat 2 of the girl’s competition and Leah Nunan (14.47) came 6th in heat 3. Both failed to make it to the final.
Roisin Kirby had a busy championship and was looking to add to her Discus gold. She lined up in the Under 16 Girls 100m heat 1 winning in 13.53 before placing 5th in the final in 13.58. Isabella Jackson qualified as a fastest loser (13.92) when placing 5th in heat 2 and came 8th in the final in 14.03.
Two boys reached the final of the Under 16s 100m as James Dunne (14.05) was eliminated after placing 5th in heat 1. Alex Leonard (12.61) and Ciaran O’Farrell (12.93) came 3rd and 4th in heat 2 to qualify automatically. In the final Leonard (12.12) lost out in a photo-finish for runner-up spot and took home the bronze medal. Ciaran O’Farrell ran well to come 5th in 12.93.
Isabella Kelly also won bronze in the Under 17 Girls 100m final. Her time was 13.86. In the Under 17 Boys 100m both Oisin Cummins-Weiss (12.57) 4th in heat 1 and Romeo Omozee (12.41) 3rd in heat 2 qualified for the final. Omozee came 5th in the final in 12.51 and Cummins-Weiss 8th in 12.71.
Sophie O’Farrell added the 100m bronze to the bronze gong she won in the Under 19s 200m. Her time was 13.64.
The afternoon’s 1,500m finals kicked off with Lily Clarke-Hanrahan (5.27.31) placing 4th in the Under 14 Girls and qualified to compete at the Nationals. Clarke-Hanrahan, who recently moved up to the LTAD juvenile squad, is a young athlete with fine potential.
In the Under 14 Boys 1,500m Cillian McCooey (4.56.14) came 5th. Next in action was Emily Bolton (4.46.31) who had almost 20 seconds to spare when winning the Under 15 Girls 1,500m. Abigail Tolan (5.36.58) came 7th in the same race.
Donore Harriers athletes were very much to the fore in the Under 15 Boys 1,500m. Liam Morris (4.27.35) lost out on the gold medal to Jacob Ciomek of Lucan Harriers by just 5-hundredths of a second. Next came Reuben McCormick claiming the bronze medal with a 4.35.86 time. Daire McCormick is also making noteworthy improvement as indicated with 5th place in 4.40.83. All 3 DH athletes ran personal best times.
Eva Crowe, who is a brave and wholehearted athlete, came 4th in the Under 16 Girls 1,500m and Lucas Collender (4.53.51) and Adam Mulhall (5.00.68) came 7th and 10th in the Under 16 Boys race.
James Bolton (4.18.50) came 2nd in the Under 19 Boys 1,500m behind Finn Boyle (4.13.98) of Crusaders AC.
Ruby Blake followed up her fine performances in the Dublin Juvenile League by winning the gold medal in the Under 13 Girls Shot Putt competition.
In the Under 14 Girls Long Jump Zion Osawe came 5th and Melody Omozee 7th. Emma Jane Keegan placed 8th in the Under 13 Girls Shot Putt and Max Henley-Willis was 7th in the Under 12 Boys Turbo Javelin.

The annual trail race, which was first introduced in 2010, was run along grass and trail paths near to the Boyne River. Didier DaCosta (19.02) came 16th overall and 4th in the M45 category – and Thomas Halton (34.11) came 366th and 16th in the M60s. There were 401 finishers.

Carthy placed 55th of 124 finishers and was 5th in the women’s category.

Last Wednesday evening (08.06.2022) the club presented a cheque to Abdel Laadjel in support of his continued athletics scholarship at Providence College in the USA. The fund was in partnership with ALLIANZ TECHNOLOGY IRELAND, who are supporting grassroots athletics at Donore Harriers through their corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme. The cheque was presented by Peter Nugent on behalf of both Donore Harriers and Allianz Technology Ireland. Abdel, who hails from Lucan, had a very successful ‘freshman’ season at Providence, setting two Irish under 20 records over 5,000m indoors (14.12.73) and 10,000m outdoors (29.23.92). Also among his season highlights was his 6th place finish in the European Under 20 cross-country championships at Abbotstown last December, where he led the Irish team to silver medals.

Club athletes took part in the ‘TO HELL AND BACK’ event at the Kilruddery Estate, Bray on Saturday in memory of Late coach John Geoghegan. More details to follow.

Juvenile members were again to the fore in this week’s PARKRUN races. At Waterstown Dylan McKenna was 2nd overall with Katie Delaney 5th and 1st woman. Under 12 category athlete Mark Nunan placed 2nd at the Sports Campus – and Fergal Whitty M45 was first again at Hartstown.
