The Olympic level track at St Laurence O’Toole AC formally opened. With the official opening of their new track in Carlow, St Laurence O’Toole AC, Athletics Ireland would like to congratulate everyone involved. Athletics Ireland CEO Hamish Adams, Olympic silver medalist John Treacy, and Minister for Sport Thomas Byrne attended the opening on Friday, September 20.
Local athletes Aaron Shorten, Molly Scott, and Adam Nolan were among the many in attendance on this fantastic turnout day. Appropriately, the official opening of the new Olympic standard track coincides with Paris 2024 and will undoubtedly provide further motivation for the young school and juvenile athletes there to emulate their Olympic idols.
