34th Donegal Primary School Track and Field Championships

This years championship finals have been fixed for June 9th at the Finn Valley Centre with qualifying regional trails where appropriate during May. The event continues to be developing with 92 schools participating during 2003. It is desirable to have a local area qualifying final. Areas which had a qualifying competition last year, were Finn Valley (2 days) North West, Rosses, Buncrana, Glenties, Killybegs South West, Carndonagh.


Two athletes per event qualifying for the county finals along with one relay team from each regional event. Schools in other areas may wish to organise a qualifying competition amongst themselves on a mutually agreed day. Schools unable to organise locally may still compete at County final with one athlete per event plus relay team per age group. Principals please note the former as numbers have forced this. It is therefore desirable to have a local area event if at all possible.

Awards – medals top 3, certificates all finalists.


N.B. where areas do not hold qualifying events I will on this occasion hold firm on the above namely one athlete per event per school in such cases. You can understand this as there are time and safety limitations on the day.
