Steven Colvert in action in the IUAA championship 2011

With the mountain runners in action in Munster and Connaught, track athletics provide the action in the other two provinces.  At the Irish University Track and Field Champions in Antrim, Steven Colvert and Eoin Mulhall were in action.  In the 100m, Steven Colvert, running as a guest posted the fastest time by an Irish man this year, running 10.62 and came back the next day to post 10.80 for 2nd in unfavourable wind conditions.  In the 200m he ran 21.39 into a head wind to place him 2nd in the race and on the Irish list for the year.  Eoin Mulhall got his season off to a mixed start, while running the fastest time of the championship, 49.49 in very unfavourable wind conditions, but was unlucky to get disqualified for stepping out of his lane.  However, the time shows he has wintered well and is coming into good form.
