Many of the Wexford athletes who made the long trip to Athlone for last weekend’s Leinster Juvenile Indoor Athletics Championships made the most of the experience by doing multiple events. Some medalled, some did not. Doesn’t matter. The important thing is to have not been so hung up on doing just one preferred event that an athlete was more than happy to break out and have a bit of fun. From the point of view of parents and coaches, the more events those in your charge do the more it adds more value to what is already a very long day. It takes two hours to get to Athlone, two hours to get back, and how ever long you spend at AIT itself. Injecting a little multi-disciplinary fun into the day is, without question, going to be more rewarding. And cost-effective!
The Leinster Championships conclude on March 12th at the National Indoor Arena, Abbotstown with juvenile relays also included on the programme.
