Celtic athletes were out in force at the schools cross-country in Santry today (Wednesday). First off were the National schools girls and we had a great run from Ella Mae Cromie who finished a fine 2nd leading her team of Ada, Nora, Hannah and Sophie to a fine 2nd team overall for D7 Educate Together. Katie and Emily were on the winning Mary Help of Christians team. In the boys race Billy had a great run in 4th place and led his team of Evan, Oliver and other boys from their school D7 Educate together to a very fine 2nd team overall.
In the minor girls race Alison Burke, Zoe Couch, Abbey Corr and Ciara Hanley packed really well to finish 2nd team overall for St Dominics College. Finn Burke Power had the race of his life to finish in 4th place in the boys race and Luke finished a respectable 26th. In the junior boys we had yet another 4th place with Ben Quinn leading in his team from Belvedere College in a very impressive manner, Conall Regan and James Scanlon both ran quite well despite being off sick recently.
Cliona Murphy ran a great race in the Inter girls event and guess what another 4th place! Alison Armstrong came 5th , Cliona Carthy 7th and Aoife Corr 10th with Ellen just behind her. Maia Ryan ran her best race in a long time to help St Dominics win team silver. Pierre went in the Inter boys race and he ran a great race for St Declan’s to finish 2nd in a very fast finishing race only inches behind the winner with Michael Hanley (also Declan’s having a good run to finish 66th), following his fine sub 7min. milling in the Simon race last week. Great day for all, consistent training is the only way and it is showing. Well done to all. Keep it up.
