Mayo Athletics Awards

Congratulations to Bella and Eugene on their awards at the recent Mayo Athletics Awards. These awards celebrate the achievements of Mayo athletes in the last year, anyone who has medalled at a National Event is invited to attend. This year 124 Awards and 51 Certificates were presented to all athletes who won national and international medals in 2025, from under 11 up to masters.

Isabella went from strength to strength in 2025. After an early season win at the Templemore Throws festival, Isabella broke the Connaught U16 Hammer record, her second record in a row. She proceeded to win Silver in both the Schools All-Ireland and the AI All-Irelands in Tullamore.

Constantly getting stronger as the season progressed, Isabella won the Hammer throw at the Tailteann Interprovincial Games, holding her nerve to win the competition on her last throw.

This win led to the highlight of her year - qualifying to represent Ireland at the Schools International Track and Field Championships in Derby where she threw a new personal best of over 50 metres. All the more impressive as she is underage for this competition again next year. Isabella is an inspiration to the younger athletes at the club and shows what hard work and dedication can achieve.
