 Moynalvey

 

 

Moynalvey/Kilcloon Athletics Club

The History of Moynalvey/Kilcloon Athletics Club spans more than two decades. Moynalvey/Kiltale Athletic Club was founded in 1982 by John Durkan and Jim Treacy. While strong links still exist between the parishes of Moynalvey and Kiltale through their respective GAA clubs, the athletics club spread its wings to encompass the parish of Kilcloon and the club as it is known today came into existence c.1989. The present president of the club is Liam Treacy. Five athletes from Moynalvey/Kilcloon A.C. have been chosen to represent Ireland at international level, the most recent of these being Sara Treacy.

 

Daniel Treacy (DCU & Moynalvey/Kilcloon AC)

Daniel is now at DCU and a key member of their athletics team.

ESB National League at Santry 30 Jul 2007: 1500m Daniel Treacy (Moynalvey) 5th 4.02.2. 4x400: Blaine Rennicks (Bohermeen) Emmet Reilly (Navan) Daniel Treacy (Moynalvey) and Niall Matthews (Navan) 4th 3.31.07. All-Ireland novice cross country championships, Athlone Saturday 9th December 2006: Daniel Treacy was Meath's only athlete in the boys under 19 and he ran well to finish 7th. All Ireland Inter County cross country championships, Dungarvan Co Waterford 26th November 2006: The Meath Junior Men produced a great team effort to take the Gold medal, lead home by Daniel Treacy in 14th place with all six runners in the top 35.

 

Fodhla Treacy (TCD & Moynalvey/Kilcloon AC)

Fodhla won the Irish universities indoor 800m in December 2006 and places 2nd twice in the outdoor 800m during her 4 years at Trinity (Graduated in 2007).

All-Ireland novice cross country championships, Athlone Saturday 9th December 2006: Meath Novice Ladies team took the silver medals and Fodhla Treacy (Moynalvey) lead the Meath team home in 7th place.

Sarah Louise Treacy (Birmingham University and Moynalvey/Kilcoon AC)

Following a 12 month break from competition in Ireland, Sara will soon be donning the Meath singlet when she represents Ireland in the National Inter-Counties Cross Country on the 25th November 2007, the World Junior Cross-Country in March 2008 and the World Junior Track Championships in June 2008. She received € 4000 in the 2007 Meath Local Sports Partnership Bursary Awards.

Manchester University Cross Country Relays, 6th Oct 2007: Sara (18) wore the red and blue colours of Birmingham University for the first time, as she recently commenced studying medicine there on a full sports scholarship. The Manchester University relays drew almost 300 third-level athletes from all over the United Kingdom with 132 participants in the women’s event alone. Sara, was the second fastest on the day (12 minutes and 4 seconds) behind her Birmingham University club-mate, Stacey Johnson (11:58)

Of particular note is the fact that this performance came after a 10 month absence from competition. She was a member of a very promising Irish junior cross country squad which finished ninth in the European Junior Cross Country Championship at San Giorgio su Legnano, Italy in December 2006. Sara picked up an injury shortly after the European Cross Country, and was subsequently unable to compete in the spring cross country events. This piece of bad luck ruled her out of contention for another Irish School’s Cross Country title, having already won a record breaking 4 in-a-row previous to that for her former school, The King’s Hospital. Sara’s transition from schools’ to university level competition will no doubt have been made even more enjoyable by the fact that she out-paced two of the UK’s top young athletes, Non Stanford (12:13 ) who has trained with double Olympic gold medallist Kelly Holmes, and 3000m specialist Olivia Kenney (12:55).

Sara was Irish Junior Cross Country in 2006 (AAI website) and competed in World cross country that year and European cross country also.

All Ireland Inter County cross country championships, Dungarvan Waterford 26th November 2006: Sara Treacy (Moynalvey) was Meath’s best placed runner and took the silver medal.

The Leinster Cross Country championships, Belvedere House Mullingar 23rd October 2006: The best individual Meath result of the day was Sarah Treacy (Moynalvey) who had an emphatic win in the girls under 18 event.

She won the Celtic International in Wales in January 2005 for girls under 17 and won the Schools International Cross Country in April again in Wales for the top under17 schoolgirls in Ireland England Scotland and Wales. She also won the Irish Schools under17 1500m in Tullamore in June 2005 and the Athletics Ireland u17 1500 in July 2005 in Tullamore. She was second in the Schools International 1500 in July also in Tullamore.
