Rebecca Douglas competed in the Irish Schools on Saturday, she finished second in a nail biting home straight battle, gaining her a new pb of 2.20.29. coach Andrea said “she was fantastic and really gutsy, if she hadn’t run most of the race in lane 3 she might have won it, but it was excellent experience”. Also, Rebecca Wallace competed at the age groups in FinnValley stadium, she also finished second and achieved a pb of 1.57, four seconds off a pb on her 600m time. Josh Patterson also ran a pb by 6 seconds finishing mid field.
