The Lagan Valley Super 6 series came to a spectacular conclusion at Meet 6, with athletes from across the junior and senior ranks producing a host of medals, personal bests and outstanding performances.

The headline performance of the evening came from Harry McVeigh, who stormed to an exceptional 4:49 mile to become the fastest U14 mile runner in the UK this season. McVeigh had already enjoyed success earlier in the evening, claiming silver in the 100m to complete a memorable night.

There were plenty of other encouraging performances throughout the evening. Rory McAlinden competed in the U12 Long Jump, while Rua Gosling produced a strong performance in the U14 Girls’ mile.

The hard work of Connaire Óg McVeigh and Senan Gosling also paid dividends, with both athletes recording new personal bests in the mile following a summer of dedicated training.

With just one competition remaining, the Track and Field season is now drawing to a close. However, the Super 6 series has provided plenty of highlights, with athletes of all ages demonstrating the commitment, determination and enthusiasm that has characterised the season.
