We won’t know what to do when we get a real cross country day in the future, we have been so spoiled so far this winter. Beautiful sunshine, no wind and dry underfoot. What’s not to like?
Our young athletes did like with the under 12 girls starting off our day. Three of the girls are under 11 but that didn’t stop them, Juliette led them in followed by Evie, Ellen , Cara and Ellie. Very good races today by all the team over the 2k distance.
The girls and boys under 14 were next off over 3k. Jessica was first in a fine 8th place, followed by Pearl, Maggie, a much improved Saoirse and Caroline, Emma whos under 13 and in her first season with us, Freya and Maisy. Tom and Daire did their best in the boys race 3k.
Star team of the day was our under 16 girls led in by Goda in 5th place, backed up with really brave running over 4K by Erin, Aoibhinn, Megan and Abigail to win the team gold! Fantastic running by all the girls!
The boys under 11 ran in the relay and did their best despite lacking a bit of training. The under 13 girls team of Freya Dillon , Amelia, Lauren and Lelia had a great team effort finishing 7th overall in their race. The girls gave it everything and were delighted with their result.
Thank you to all the parents who brought the teams out and supported today.
Next competition will be the uneven age groups Dublin championship on 5th November in Santry. Championship distances are challenging so only those who train regularly will be entered.
