July 2018 Lisgoold Teen Continues to Aim High


by SEAMUS WHELEHAN


When it comes to Ham- mer and Discus throwing Lisgoold teen, Leah Park- er, doesn’t have any plans of landing any time soon. The 13 year old has racked up a number of championship titles


this


year for Midleton AC and St Aloysius Carrigtwohill, where she attends Second- ary School.


Last week the young


student won Silver in the under 15 Hammer and Discuss at the All Irelands. The East Cork teenag-


er threw a lifetime best of 43.80 meters in the Ham- mer and a personal best throw of 30.46 meters in the Discus. Earlier this year the Lis-


goold youth was placed in poll position at the Mun- ster Hammer and Discus Championship, claiming

Gold in the under 15 cat- egory in both. She also claimed Silver


for her school in the Mun- ster Indoor Minor Shot-


Putt.


In the Outdoor Schools Championships Leah went up a year to Junior level, claiming Gold in South


Munster schools Discus. The young Lisgoold


woman also claimed Gold in the Junior Discus and Silver in the Junior Ham-


mer for Munster in the overall competition. Despite
