    With the World Juniors fast approaching (8th of July), I thought it might be an idea to set up a dedicated thread for it rather than mixing it in with the Olympic qualifiers thread.

    So far, our list of qualifiers looks like this (which must be the largest number we've qualified for any Junior Championships?):

    _________________________________________________________________

    Event Performance Name

    200m 23.91 Niamh Whelan

    High Jump 2.14 Barry Pender

    1500m 4.22.29 Ciara Mageean

    High Jump 1.80 Pamela Hughes

    400m Hurdles 59.95 Kalyn Sheehan

    100m 11.71 Niamh Whelan

    100m 12.04 Joan Healy

    100m Hurdles 13.92 Mairead Murphy

    800m 2:06.49 Ciara Everard

    400m 46.70 Brian Gregan

    1,500m 4:22.97 Sara Treacy

    10k Walk 50:42 Laura Reynolds

    10k Walk 43:57 Paul Fitzpatrick

    100m Hurdles 14.17 Sandra Lawlor

    400m Hurdles 59.55 Jessie Barr

    _________________________________________________________________

    I'm pretty sure Tara Jamieson is meant to be on that list aswell, as she secured the 3000m s/c standard recently.

    I would expect the O' Ffrench Carrolls to be added to this list in the near future, possibly after the Junior Champs in Tullamore tommorrow. They haven't run that much all year, because of their Leaving Cert I believe, I just hope they get the standard on time.

    Another possible addition is Colin Quirke, who competed at the World Youth Champs last year in the shot and discus, but I haven't heard anything of him recently.

    Chris Russell could be another addition in the 100m/200m.

    Should be some good action down in Tullamore tommorrw, with people trying to get last minute standards.

    Quirke has thrown 18.95m this year. I'm not sure if this is with the 6kg shot, though. The standard is 18m.

    Edited to add: He's also thrown 55.81m with the discus. Again, I'm not sure of the weight.

    15 athletes qualified and probably a womens 4 x 1 team also. Great credit to the coaches, AAI and the athletes on what is a great achievement and our greatest ever at this level.

    The diversity of events and brilliant to see so many sprinters and hurdlers. 4 hurdlers with times and two high jumpers is great to see. Only 3 guys though, the women are kicking ass!!

    Results are starting to come in from the Junior and U23 championships in Tullamore. http://www.athleticsireland.ie/content/?p=4306#more-4306

    Not so much on the Junior side, but Kelly Proper, who competed at the last World Juniors in Beijing, became the fastest Irish Woman of any age this season, with a wind-legal 11.69 in the 100m today. This bodes very well for her Long Jump.

    Who do people think will be in the best shots of a final. Gregan and Whelan are the stars of the team but with the US/Jamaican strength Whelan could find it hard to make a final. Grego could do it and a 46.5 I'd say would get him there. If in a final who knows what would happen, the man could do anything. Ciara Everard is also in with a shout as being an 800 tactics will come more into play and seeing as she isn't scared to go out hard I'd say she could do well, a PB and a 2:05 would do it. Mageean could also make a final if she had the dream race in the heats.

    Glad that they've decided to take a 4x4 relay team.

    Slightly perplexed that the O' French-Carrolls didn't make an attempt to qualify.

    This is the most promising news in Irish athletics in years. If even 25% of these athletes push on and progress to elite senior ranks we will be in good shape for the future. The Euro U23 are next year and that'll be a great stepping stone for the 19 year olds while those still junior will have the Euro Juniors.

    Only black spot is looking at those mens junior middle distance rankings, its striking that none of them came close except maybe the two North Down boys and even then not within a second of the standard. I think a 4 x 1500 relay at world junior level would be a good idea for getting juniors exposure at this level.

    Looking forward to this! Does anybody know will the IAAF website stream this live, they had this facility available at Hengalo in Holland last year? I view is a must!

    Finals must be goals as Tingle has said earlier that and some good pb's

    A great team going and youthful some will have this experience before even going to the EYOF has to augur well for the future!

    Relays! They seem to be the theme of the summer of 2008.

    Personally I thnk this is fantastic giving the youngun's a taste of what is available to them.

    Fair paly to AAI and the Gary Ryan's of the world for their work a success before the games start

    Yours

    We're off and Tara Jamieson get a SB or is a PB in the 3000 SC but finishes at the tail of the field. Tara is one of the athletes who this is a learning experience for.

    Gregan next up, really looking forward to see how he goes, progress well within his scope.

    Niamh Whelan 3rd in 11.96 but into a -1.9. Hopefully the other heats will have similar -ive wind otherwise she may not make fastest 8 losers as she is outside the automatic 2. 2nd heat has a -0.1 and she is 2nd fastest loser as of now.

    I think she is outside the fastest 8 at this stage. Ah well, 200 to come for her.

    Great stuff from Joan Healy - 12.05. Fails to progress but 0.01 of her PB into a -1.6 headwind, thats sub 12 running. Shows she has the mental edge needed.

    Unfortunately, Niamh Whelan didn't get one of the fastest loser spots. A great pity for her, but she's still got two more events to go with the 200m and the relay.

    Great running by Gregan; that'll do wonders for his confidence.

    I think Ciara Everard will get through in the 800 if she PB's and a 1.83 will do for Pamela Hughes, 3cm is a big ask but who knows.

    Such a shame, surprised she wasn't up there in a slow run race. She is a classy athlete though and has a bright future ahead of her.

    I'd say 1.81 might do it, the other pool is developing pretty much the same as hers.

    Its looking good, she is top 12 with 1.78 at the moment, unless some of the girls come through on their 3rd attempt we could have a high jump finalist!!

    A new PB for Kalyn Sheehan (59.88) was just 0.05 short of qualifying for the semis while Jessie Barr ran 60 dead. Both out but again, positive, running PB's or close to PB's on the biggest stage. Euro U23 next season.
