Great news from the Leinster schools cross country today in Santry! Pierre added yet another title to his collection with a fine win in the inter boys race. The race was down to three runners on the last lap and Pierre showed great patience and confidence in waiting until the last 100m to sprint away for a decisive win.
In the Minor girls race Alison Burke had her best run ever to finish 7th just behind her schools mate Sinead who is from another club.
