Strong winds played their part in a action packed evening at the Crusaders Grand Prix on Saturday in Irishtown.
Celbridge AC’s Seye Ogundele won the 100m in emphatic style in 10.50sec, with Dean Adams (Ballymena & Antrim) second in 10.57 and Steven Colvert (Crusaders) third in 10.62. Unfortunately a +3.8 wind speed meant that their times were illegal, but it certainly bodes well for races to come.
Steven Colvert put in an impessive performance to finish very strongly and win the 200m in 21.45s. David Hynes is in good form and he took second in 21.62, followed by Christopher Russel in 21.76. The +3.1 wind was not a true reflection of the 200m, as the athletes ran much of the bend with the wind on their faces. Colverts display in the 200m is surely only a taste of things to come from the Crusaders Athlete, this being only his second year in Athletics.
The 400m was always going to be tough in the swirling winds and Brian Murphy showed his strength in the last 100m to win in 49.38. No mean feat considering he ran in the 200m only 20 minutes earlier. Second was Kieran Kelly in 49.45, with Billy Ryan third in 50.25.
