That's great. Like Terry McHugh's team before them this Bobsleigh team is made up of Athletics with experience in summer events aswell.
They were all hitting the mark way back in 2005.

Claire Byrne was posting times in 100, 200m and 400m. Leona Byrne in 100m Hurdles and the High Jump. Aoife Hoey in Triple Jump and Shot.
That was back in 2005, but it shows what events they were into.
Hoey and Bergin competed in the World Junior Championships

9th place HOEY, Aoife/ BERGIN, Claire (IRL) Total: 1:45.69 +2.68
RUN1 (6)
RUN2 (9)
Don't understand all the numbers but they were in 6th after their first run.
I have alot time for these athletes that take part in classicly minority sports.
