Three athletes from three different counties claimed the medals in the women’s Irish u20 indoor 400m championships in Athlone last weekend. Ciara Deely from KCH AC in Kilkenny and coached by Nicola Barron, Miriam Daly from Carrick-on-Suir AC in Tipperary and coached by Paul O' Gorman and Deirdre Murray from Na Fianna in Meath and coached by Aideen Sinnott.
They raced on the Sunday all securing PBs, similar to Phil Healy from Bandon AC in Vienna 24 hours previously in a then World Lead and still European Lead time. Four athletes from four counties with four different coaches but all connected through Club TLG.
Deely and Daly have been joining Healy for Thursday Night sessions all winter while Murray has travelled to Wexford several times to train with Healy over the winter. Maybe it is a coincidence that the juniors all stepped up this season running PBs and sweeping the medals in their national age group championship or maybe it is the fact they and their coaches have collaborated and worked together. It would remind you of the principles outlined in this article here inspired by the Danish model.
