In a very wet Tullamore at the weekend, Ace Ac's Lorcan Forde Dunne broke a long-standing Leinster Championship record in the U18 boys 3000m, running 8:35 to win gold and beat a record that had stood since 1987. It was ACE AC’s sixth individual medal of the weekend. 

U17 Chloe Cooney continued her impressive comeback from injury picking up two Leinster medals. She ran only her second ever 400m on Saturday and secured a Leinster Bronze. She returned to the track 24 hours later for the 800m where she led early, dropped to fifth after 500m, but made a strong move in the final 200m to finish second and take silver. 

Not to be outdone, U17 Jaheim Humphrey also won two Leinster medals over the weekend, taking bronze in the U17 shot put and gold in the Discus.

Daniella Adebola continued her impressive form and secured a bronze in the U19 200m after a strong PB performance despite the poor running conditions.

u16 Kate O’Donnell also ran a new PB in the 1500m finishing 9th in a strong field. Sholah Lawernce was just outside the medals in the U18 1500m with a fourth place finish. In the boys’ 1500m events, u18 Eoin O’Grainne came 6th, while u17 Liam Lynch finished 6th and u14 Tayo Lawernce continued his improvements and finished 7th.

u15 Taylor Gregory ran in the boys u15 800m,  and impressed with a 6th place finish. Tadgh Forde Dunne was 8th and Killian Sheridan 6th in the U17 boys 800m.The U18 Boys 800m saw 4 Ace Ac athletes battle it out with Ruairí O'Grainne having the highest finish in 5th followed by his twin brother Eoin in 7th, followed by both Rhys Clarke and Jamie O'Reilly. 

Meanwhile some Ace AC athletes took to the Mary Peters track in Belfast for the BMC event. In the 1500m Eimear Cooney ran a 4.25 PB. Only a couple of seconds outside of the European u20 standard. In the 3k Shea O'Donnell and Danny Nugent both ran well while Daniel Hanley and Neil Culhane also did well in the 800m with Culhanne continuing his impressive return to form with a 1.52 Seasons best.
