The A.A.I. Games were held in Athlone and it was a feast of athletics with a mix of international and home-grown athletes on show. Nenagh Olympic were represented by Paul White, Tom Hennessy and Dan Finnerty and all three lads showed that they can compete very well at this level.

Paul finished 2nd in the 400m with a new indoor pb of 50.40 secs. This was a fine run by Paul and had he been put in with a few stronger runners he may have benefited more and shaved even more off his time.

Tom also was unlucky with his 800m heat draw as he too would have relished stronger opposition in his race. Despite this, Tom also set a new indoor pb when winning his race in style in a time of 1.56.40 mins.

Dan Finnerty competed in three events on a busy day for him, while his Long Jump didn't go well, he had two good runs in both the 60m and 200m which we hope will lead to success as the season progresses.
