National Juvenile Indoor Championships

Please wear the blue Longford AC singlet and only 5mm spikes (if you ran Cross Country you will need to swap out the xtra long spikes for the 5mm size)

It will be a very long day…bring snacks & drinks. The college is not back in session so it is not confirmed if the canteen will be open

Listen to all announcements calling the different age groups and events

From what I understand every result is based on the heat times, it doesn’t look like they run a semifinal\final be sure to do your best in your heat!
