Hannah Lewis won the U18 girls long jump in Waterford on Saturday at the Celtic Games International. Hannah had another big pb (and club record) with a jump of 5.78m. Her long jump results were definitely memorable with all 6 jumps in and over 5.50m, 2 legally over 5.70m and all but one inside the wind limit. Other event winners from Ulster were Scott Hamilton U16 200m 23.2; Jason Harvey U16 80m hurdles and high jump in 11.3 and 1.95; Martin Penrose U16 1000m walk in 4:58.01; Daniel Mullan U18 javelin 55.13; Gary Coulter U18 high jump 1.95; Paul Fitzpatrick U18 1000m walk 4;11.26; Stephen Wilson U18 triple jump 13.28m.
Hannah"s jumps were 5.53m (0.6), 5.78m (1.6m), 5.58m (1.0), 5.61m (0.9), 5.53m (2.7), 5.73 (1.7). Her legs were unsurprisingly tired for the 200m but she still ran 25.35 secs for 4th. Other U18 North Down girls were Katie Hewitt, 4th in 300 hurdles in 47.57 and Kim Shaw, 4th in 300m in 42.90. David Keys had 3rds in the U18 hammer and discus with 49.08m and 44.41m.
