THE future stars of Irish athletics produced impressive displays at the Kit Kat Munster Schools track and field championships in CIT on Saturday.

Ciarán Ó Lionaird, David McCarthy, Brian Markhan and John Shine continued to build on their growing reputations at the Bishopstown venue.

Ciara Cronin, an exciting new prospect from Waterford, ran 2:11.77 to win the junior 800m title, knocking a second off Paula Sheehan’s record from 1996.
