On Wednesday last the Leinster Schools Cross Country were held in Santry and we had several club athletes representing their schools.
In the minor girls race Anna Petit, Sarah Byrne, Gillian Murphy and Cliodhna Donaghy represented St. Dominics and were very unlucky to be without their lead runner Claire Murphy who was ill on the day and just missed out on qualification to Nationals.
In the Minor boys race Sean Donoghue representing St. Declans had a fantastic run and won his first Leinster Schools title in fine style. Conor Murphy also ran for St. Declans in the Minor boys and fought all the way to the finish despite having a bad cold.
In the Junior girls race Dora Medgyesy ran very well finishing 5th despite also carrying a heavy cold. In the Inter Boys race Daire Finn ran a strong race to finish up in 9th place. In the Senior Girls race Ellen Byrne and Aoife Corr put their mocks aside for the day and came out to represent their school St. Dominics but unfortunately the team did not qualify. Aoife Donaghy also ran well on their Senior Girls team.
Well done everyone! Its great to be representing your school at Leinster level and you should all be very proud of yourselves!
