Congratulations to all the athletes who competed at the Intermediate and Senior Co Down District Athletics Championships on Wednesday 4th May. Strathearn were crowned Overall Intermediate Champions by a huge margin of 34 points. The Seniors were unfortunate to be 6 points below the winners and so finished runners-up. A total of 24 medals were won by Strathearn athletes and 18 individuals have qualified for the Ulster Championships later this month. It is not just the medal winners who gain points, so special congratulations to all those athletes who worked extremely hard to do their best and earn Strathearn valuable points. See below for all results and Galleries for some photos of all the action.
