The rain held off for day one of the Kerry County Juvenile Track & Field Championships at An Riocht AC in Castleisland on Saturday, May 3rd. It was a day of heated competition, especially in some of the older age categories. Day 1 is traditionally sprint day with ages U-9 to junior competing in some fast and furious races.
Highlight of the day in the field events was Adam King from Iveragh throwing 70.32m to qualify for the European Youth Olympic Trials that will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan on 30th May. Day 2 of the county championships will be held on Sunday, May 25th. Any missing results and relays will be included at that time.
