Inter girls team from st Dominics at Leinster schools

We had 12 athletes racing today in Santry for their secondary schools in the Leinster cross country championships. Our junior girls have had better days and were very disappointed not to qualify for the Nationals. Better days ahead! In the junior boys Joe Fogarty ran very well finishing 8th and qualified for the all Ireland’s.
Our intermediate girls ran well with Dora in 10th, Clare racing back into good form and Sara and Cliodhna giving good back up to narrowly miss out on 2nd team. With Gillian hopefully recovered from her flu the Nationals should be a good race for this team in two weeks time.
Sean ran a super race in the inter boys finishing 3rd and very close to 2nd. He still has another year in this age group so this was a great result. Well done everyone.
