NI age-group and Senior champs – entries now open

Fri 13 May 2011--admin

Many of our young athletes are focussed just now on the schools’ district qualifiers, from which news has filtered through daily this week of strong performances and even records by City of Lisburn athletes! Athletes should also be aware that entries have now opened for the NI and Ulster age-group championships at Antrim in June. Following a very successful indoor champs for City of Lisburn in Feb / March, hopefully this will translate to a good showing at the outdoor equivalent.

Athletes may enter up to THREE individual events. Age-groups are based on ages as at 31 December this year, with the top FOUR in each event qualfying for the All-Ireland age-group champs at Tullamore. Athletes and their parents should therefore be discussing now with their coaches which events they are considering.

11 June Under 18/19/20

18 /19 June Under 17/16/15/14

Senior championship entries are also now open for the 11 June, where there is the added incentive of £200 for a NI record!

Note that responsibility for entries, which should be completed on-line via the Athletics NI website, lies in all cases with the athlete themselves.
