Overview

Athletics in Grosvenor has a long and proud tradition and a history of excellence. In the Boys Athletics Club we aim to develop the individual athlete from Years 8 – 14 to ensure they maximise their potential. We offer 3 training sessions per week as well as regular athletics competitions in preparation for the athletes’ main season and encourage all potential athletes to attend.

Recent success

In recent seasons the Boys Athletics Club has experienced immense success at both Ulster and Irish Level. In the 2019 season, Grosvenor won the Ulster Title for Boys Athletics, awarded to the school with the most points across all events at the Ulster Athletics Championships; this was the first time the school has ever won this award. Additionally, the Boys Club had 9 athletes competing at All Ireland level this season, with our Intermediate Boys 4 x 100m Relay team winning Gold at the Championships.
