Report From National Track and Field
National Senior
T&F Championships 2020 by Joan Hough
Frank O’Brien made his national senior track debut in the
800m at Morton Stadium on Saturday, 29th August. There were four heats with the first two
finishers automatically qualifying for the final plus the two fastest
losers. Frank ran very well in the final
heat, covering all the moves with his tactical acuteness and running through
the line to finish third in a pb time of 1:58.02 and the sixth fastest loser.
The experience gained from this competing and of competing
behind closed doors should stand to him as Frank toes the line again this
Saturday for the National Junior 3,000m Steeplechase, his final national junior
track race. We wish Frank the best of
luck.
Show a clean pair of
heels.
Masters Joan Hough and John Hennessy will also be in action on the track next weekend so we wish them both the best also.
