Fearghal Curtin, Charleston Southern University and Youghal AC, ran a 10,000m PB of 28:25.43 for eight place, in last night's Raleigh Relays, in North Carolina, USA
Fearghal’s time is the third fastest by a Corkman, behind Mark Carroll, Leevale AC, 27:46.82, and Cathal Lombard, Leevale AC, 28:05.27
In the same race, Barry Keane, Butler University and Waterford AC, was second, in 28:15.60, while Brian Fay, Washington State and Raheny AC, was fourth, in 28:22.31
It may have been the last event to conclude at the Raleigh Relays but the Bucs made the most of it, as Fearghal Curtin shattered the program record in the 10,000 meters with his eighth-place time of 28:25.43. It also ranks second in Big South history, as he topped the 30:13.40 set by Jeryck Wilson at the 2018 Virginia Challenge.

Sunday May 1st - County Juvenile U12-19 T&F Championships - Day 1
Sunday May 8th - County Juvenile U12-19 T&F Championships - Day 2
Sunday May 15th - County Juvenile U9 - 11 & Relays T&F Championships - Day 3
Sunday May 22nd - County Juvenile B & Combined Events T&F Championships - Day 4
These Championships are scheduled to return during the first four Sundays in May, with the normal full complement of events
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, up to 1500 athletes were entered for some of these Championships
At the recent County Board AGM, it was decided to make a concerted effort to expand the number of people involved in the preparations and pre-planning of these Championships, ahead of the events. If successful, this should ensure more efficiently organised Championships, and also relieve the pressure on the very small number of officials with the onerous task of putting all the 'bits and pieces' in place during the pre-planning stage. As usual, all clubs with participants are asked to provide officials on each of these days at all the field event sites, and at the track
With this in mind, willing club officials are asked to commit to take on a relatively small manageable role, ahead of each championship
Typically these tasks will involve the following non-exhaustive list:
1 Entries taken – via an email entry form. In time, it is hoped to provide an online entry system. This latter option suit a person with basic IT skills
2 Create start lists for the field events, and possibly track events
3 Ensure the collection of entry fees is complete in a timely manner after the final championship day
4 Medals ordered, collected and manage the presentation of these on competition day
5 Order and collect bib numbers (and possibly safety pins)
6 Organise First Aid cover
7 Track officials coordination – Get the names of the track officials nominated by the relevant clubs that have been assigned to provide track officials
8 Jumps officials coordinator – Get the names of the jumps officials nominated by the relevant clubs that have been assigned to provide long, high and triple jump officials
9 Throws officials coordinator - Get the names of the throws officials nominated by the relevant clubs that have been assigned to provide shot put, discus, javelin and hammer throw officials
10 Equipment coordinator. Check beforehand that the equipment needed (particularly throwing implements and tapes) for all events is available on site
11 Catering – Arrange refreshments for officials on the day
Already, there is a lot of goodwill and willingness to get involved, by regular club officials and coaches, who see the need for, and value of, this type of streamlining of the Juvenile Championships
So far Seven officials have already committed to this project. We need a minimum of ten, and ideally even more, so that the workload can be reduced even further on what will be a de facto Juvenile T&F workgroup
Liam O’Brien has agreed to coordinate this group for current year

Action from Cork Athletics Graded leagues Round 4 2019
The County Senior, Junior and Masters T&F Championships will be held in conjunction with the Graded Leagues this year
A sub-committee has been formed to manage the series, which are planned for April through to June. MTU Track is scheduled for relaying once Cork City Sports are over, in early July. Should the relaying be delayed or postponed, it is hoped that one or two more meets can be held
The format of the Leagues has still to be decided, however it is hoped that the inclusion of the Championships will raise both the quality of the events and numbers participating. Each meet will be open to guest athletes from other counties
