European Team Championships

This year the European Team Championships takes the place of the European/Europa Cup for the first time but the change doesn't seem to have bothered the Cru athletes as 5 have made it onto the mens half of the squad. They will compete alongside their male and female counterparts on the 20th and 21st of June in Banska Slovakia.

Of particular note are Juniors Colin Quirke and Steven Colvert. Quirke has made waves in the last few years breaking several national records and will throw both discus and shot in Banska. Colvert, one of our most recent members takes a place on the 4x100m squad. A massive achievement for his first year in the sport.

Congrats to all Crusaders who made the European Team Championships squad: Ian McDonald (110h), Steven Flemming (LJ), Thomas Chamney(800m), Colin Quirke (SP, DT) and Steven Colvert (4x100m).
