Our St Dominic’s members had a very successful day out in St annes park today.Louise led her minor team in 7th place with Isabelle in 11th, Rachel and Lucy had great back up runs and unfortunately the recorders missed Rachel in the team scoring and the team were given 2nd place in error. The organisers apologised but it was disappointing after all running so well. Close to 150 in the race so was a bit chaotic.
In the junior race Cara and Ellen ran their hearts out and helped their team to first place.
The inter girls team were flying today and Caroline led them in 4th place with great back up from Emma and Jessica and a fine overall team win.
Great days racing, team success and stunning weather overlooking the sea.
Thank you to the parents and grandparents for all the support today. Much appreciated.
