WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF LAGAN VALLEY ATHLETICS CLUB BASED AT THE MARY PETERS' TRACK IN BELFAST. LAGAN VALLEY WELCOMES ATHLETES FROM 8-80+ AND CATERS FOR ALL ABILITIES.
HOUSE FULL SIGN GOES UP AT MARY P.
The Lagan Valley Primary Squads are now in full swing with the weather conditions in the first two weeks being at opposite ends of the spectrum. Week 1 the rain came down in torrents - week 2 the sun blazed from a clear blue sky. What price on snow for next weekend? The concept is clearly a very successful one as the sessions are fully booked and unfortunately no new athletes can be taken on at this stage.
ALL ROADS LEAD TO ANTRIM
The weekend of 17th/18th May sees the Antrim Stadium hosting both the Ulster Schools and the opening round of the All Ireland League for Senior athletes. Congratulations to all the sky blue and navy athletes who have qualified for the Ulster's (and there are hoardes of them) and gook luck at the weekend.
The weather was kinder for the second of the five meeting WALSIN Young Athlete Series and some excellent early season performances were posted. Joanna Mills laid down another marker in her bid to be named Athlete of the Season with a very fast 200m clocking as well as a useful Long Jump. Race of the night was undoubtedly the final 1500 metres which although fought out in the gloom well after 9.00 pm produced a string of personal best performances.
