Connacht GAA Air Dome…continued!!
The Daily Mile team visited the Connacht GAA Air Dome in Mayo where there was a gathering of six primary schools from counties Mayo and Roscommon. The special guest on the day was European 4x400m relay silver medallist Lauren Cadden – who was a huge hit with the children!!
David Matthews and his excellent Try Track & Field Team of coaches delivered a two-hour special of sprinting, jumping and throwing that was a delight to witness. Many thanks to Dermot McDermott and John Travers who came from Sligo to help and to Ciaran Conlon, who set up all the stations for sprints, jumps and throws.
The children were thrilled to have Lauren show them how to run relays and execute baton changes. She also showed the children her relay medal from the European Championships and joined with them for photos that they will long treasure.
Fantastic day for all and huge thanks to Kurt and all the team at the Air Dome for such a warm welcome!!
