The Juvenile athletes won the best overall club title in the Under 9 to Under 16 age groups over the two-day championships.
This is the second year in a row that the club took the team title with the Kerry Athletics Cup presented to team captains Antonya Lejwoda and Finn Moloney.
The club’s Senior Track and Field teams won both Senior Men's and Women's County Championships with team points coming from wins and top three finishes in most events.
The historical Quill Cup was presented to the men’s team captains Oisin Lynch and Eoin O’Reilly, this being the third consecutive year that Killarney Valley AC won this title.
The Killarney team won the Senior Women’s title for the first time and team captains senior Selina Collins and Madie Wilson Walker were presented with the Christina O’Shea Memorial Cup.
“The club is very proud of the culture and team spirit built up in what sometimes can be viewed as an individual sport. The standard of coaching in the club in the many technical events of Track and Field Athletics is of the highest standards and is demonstrated by the momentum of the club's success this past few years,” said coach Tomas Griffin.
