Dublin Graded Series: Meet 1 & IMC Greystones

The senior outdoor track season is now underway. The traditional start of the season in Dublin is usually the first Dublin Graded meet and this took place in very unspring-like conditions at a cold and blustery Santry stadium.

In the sprint events, Aoife Lynch came 2nd in the 100m A race in 12.10. Javier Romero did an unusual double, the 100m and the 800m and clocked 12.54 for the shorter race.

800m and 3000m were the endurance events on the night. Maura Kearns had a very good season opener 2.22.32 in the 800m A and she is sure to knock spots off that over the summer. Jona Kalemi ran 2.55.59 in the B Race.

There were two 800m men’s A Races and Elliott Slade won the 2nd one in an impressive 1.54.19. Louis Catteau ran 1.57.74 in that race. Michael Ryan ran 2.04.52 in B, Javier Romero ran 2.07.63 in C.

Louis and Michaeldoubled up, running the 3k too. Louis ran 9.32.36 and Michael Ryan 10.00.12. Des gill finished in 11.52.

Meanwhile, much sunnier conditions greeted the runners at the Charlesland complex in Greystones on May bank holiday Saturday for the first Irish Milers Club event of the season.

Louis Catteau and Malcolm Duquesney both aced PBs in the 1500m A Race, Louis 3.54.12 and Malcolm 3.55.25. Michael Ryan ran 4.12.72 in the C race and Emmet Ó Briain 4.15.70 in the D. There were big fields in both 5000m races and Ray Hynes finished 10th in the B race in 15.18.59
