Sligo AC bridged a three year gap when they fielded a team in the AAI National Track & Field League in Antrim on Sunday 14th June. A fifth place finish in Division One sets them up nicely for the second day in Athlone on July 5th. Impressive runs by Tommy Casey (1500m) Gary Hynes (200m) and Emmett Dunleavy (3000m steeplechase) were some of Sligo's highlights on the track. The spirit of the team was exemplified by team captain Dermot McDermott, who ran his first ever track race over 5000m and was only beaten in a sprint finish by international athlete Sean Connolly (Tallaght). McDermott finished in an impressive 15mins 23seconds.In Manchester meanwhile, on Saturday 13th June, Martin Conroy (pictured) continued his rich vein of form; running a fine race & recording a personal best over 5000m in a time of 14mins 43seconds. Well done to these Athletes from all at the Club.
