Great running for club members Michael and Helena Coleman who both ran PB times at the great Limerick run on Sunday. Michael ran 3 23 for the marathon and Helena 1 55 for the half. (Both are regulars at the WAC circuits on a Wednesday night at 7pm so the moral of the story is....yet more people doing circuits and pulling in PBs!!) Also, Jason O'Brien ran 1 45 for the half and Pat Grant, fresh from the London Marathon, acted as pace maker for 3 30 today and brought them in nicely with about 30 seconds to spair!

Also, at the Belfast Marathon on bank holiday Monday WAC's Mary Jennings won the F55 category in a time of 3hr 33min.

Another great evening of road running for and by WAC!  55 of our members ran and at least that number again helped out with registration, course set up, the water station, the finish area, the refreshments, the marshalling and all the other little jobs that need to get done.
The WAC finishers are are shown below and full results are here and a summary of overall winners below.

Lots more photos from James Veale of West Waterford here and lots more from Gavin Downey here.

Well done all the WAC members who were out in force this evening at the Glornamara 4 mile.

Well done Silvia Malone on winning the ladies section, Joan Mahony coming an excellent 3rd, Diane Behan 4th and Caitriona Gough 5th.
WAC men were well in contention with 7 men in the first 10 finishers! From Frank Quinlan 2nd, Brian Swaby 3rd, Finley Weir 4th and David Drohan 5th WAC members were very evident throughout the field! Many members ran and with great refreshments after at the GAA centre all agreed it was a great evening of athletics. Well done to Andrew Connick of WIT AC who won the race in a very respectable time of 20min 35 sec.

And in the earlier U16 series of races some WAC members were to the fore and had a great time...and excited and delighted about winning a voucher of Pirates Adventure venue in Tramore...

Hunt for officials for Special Olympics event in Waterford, 9th June. Please contact Shaun Hennessy ASAP if any interested as you need to be registered to officiate, this takes 3/4 weeks.

Email: shaun.hennessy@specialolympics.ie or by phone: 021-4977192.

Waterford AC Juvenile Club are looking for parents, runners, or anyone involved (or would like to become involved) in the club to help out with our training sessions. The main night we are hoping to get volunteers is on a Thursday night from 7-8pm. You don't need to be an Olympic Champion, just have an interest in athletics and organising games for kids.

Anyone who would like to help out can give their name to Albert Tebay on 087-6720897 or Brian Swaby on 087-2343520. All new coaches will have an easy introduction at Saturday morning training so nobody is just thrown in straight away.
