Records fall at schools championship

DESPITE strong winds, Saturday’s Kit Kat Tailteann Irish Schools’ Interprovincial track and field championships in Tullamore produced a number of records.

Munster won the girls 4 x 300 metres relay in a time of 2:48.1, .5 of a second faster than Leinster’s 1994 record.

Team member Laura Crowe also won the 800 metres in which she equalled the record of 2:12.5 set by Aoife Byrne in 1996.
