Medals for Fit N Running duo at road relay championships

Ballymena’s Fit N Running duo Connor McQuillan and Mark McKinstry linked up with their parent club North Belfast Harriers to claim silver and bronze in their respective events.

Fifteen year old Connor earned a call up to the Harriers senior mixed relay team and produced a display well beyond his youthful years. Going in the second of 4 legs over a flat one mile lap Connor took the baton in 7th place with a 250meter defecit from 1st.

He then produced the performance of the day when he decimated the field with a blistering display to haul the Harriers back into the race passing on in 2nd place 10 meters off the front. His team mates stuck to their task and retained 2nd and a well earned podium place.

Mark McKinstry going in the senior mens team produced another personal best performance over 2 miles on leg 3 as the Harriers claimed 3rd place. Marks is no stranger to winning races, though this however is his first medal at Northern Ireland senior level.

For good measure North Belfast harriers claimed 1st place in the Mens Masters event
