A number of the senior track middle distance squad were at Mary Peters on Thursday evening for the 3rd Firmus Energy Meet where 3000m was the feature MD race. In the ladies race, Rachel Gibson had a good run for 1st but was unlucky in a way as she is in good form and her unchallenged time of 11:09.67 min was a second or so outside her recent pb in Sligo. Katie Moore in 3rd did get a pb with 11:14.72. So did Jordan Stokes who was 5th in the mens race with 8:58.95 – his first race under 9 minutes. James Budde and Francis Marsh were also well up in the big field. Another impressive win came in the girls U15 race where Lauren Hamilton, competing for her school Regent House stormed to a win in her first race over 3000m in a good 11:40.21.
