John O’Connor, a first year student of St. Patrick’s Secondary School brought his 2018 haul of gold medals to four this week having won gold in the minor boys 100m and 200m in the North Munster Athletics Track and Field Championships recently.
The Castleisland teenager claimed the 100m in a time of 11.7 seconds and the 200m in a time of 25.32 seconds.
He won gold in the 60m North Munster Indoor Championships in Nenagh earlier this year and followed that with gold in the 100m Kerry Colleges Athletics Track and Field at An Ríocht AC in early May.
“It has been a great year for John on the track in Kerry and Munster schools competitions.
“He’s a special talent and has a very bright future ahead. We look forward to John having more great success in the years to come,” said Principal Denis O’Donovan.
The Maine Valley Post has, is and always will be a free resource for the people of the locality and its wider diaspora.
When we started in 2013, the intention was to be a weekly, online newsletter. Over time, the site has evolved into a much different beast with multiple updates on a daily basis.
Because of its nature as a digital publication, it brings with it certain expenses: computers and cameras that require updating and maintenance; internet hosting and access; to say nothing of the time and hard work that goes into the site. It all adds up…
Our online community has always been our greatest asset and a vocal supporter of the Maine Valley Post since day one.
