August Athlete of the Month: Reece Ademola

Club: Leevale AC

Cork City Sports is delighted to name Reece Ademola (Leevale AC) as our Athlete of the Month for August, following a landmark performance on the national stage.

At the Irish National Senior Track & Field Championships, Reece delivered a moment to remember by breaking the magical 8-metre barrier in the long jump for the first time in his career—a milestone that places him firmly among the elite in Irish athletics. The jump not only marked a personal breakthrough, but also underlined his consistency and competitive strength at the very highest level.

This outstanding performance secured Reece’s third consecutive National Senior long jump title, an achievement that speaks volumes about his dedication, technical progression, and ability to rise to the occasion when it matters most.

As he continues to push new boundaries and set his sights on even greater distances, Reece’s August performance represents both a career highlight and a glimpse of what’s still to come.

Congratulations to Reece Ademola and Leevale AC on a truly exceptional achievement.
