Heffernan walks away with top award
Heffernan quite literally had the walk of his life at the Olympics and his fourth place finish in the 50k walk was the standout performance by an Irish athlete at major championships this season. In the process Heffernan destroyed his own national record with a time of 3:37.54. Not surprisingly, he was also awarded the Race Walker of the Year Award for 2012.
Dundrum South Dublin (DSD) were the worthy recipients of the Performance Club of the Year Award while Development Club of the Year Award went to Carlow’s St Laurence O’Toole.
