West lLeinster Schools

The West Leinster schools were held in the Phoenix Park yesterday. We had a good few athletes involved and some very good performances on the day. In the Minor girls race Chloe Corcoran finished a strong 4th, Alison Armstrong was 2nd in the senior girls, Ben Quinn was a very good 5th in the inter boys and Pierre Murchan won the senior boys. Caoimhe Lynan and Evan Mc Millan both ran very well in their races even though it was a bit on the long side for both.

We had a good day at the DCU races on Wednesday with Ella Mae Cromie the stand out performer on the day when she convincingly won the minor girls race. Libby Peppard finished 10th, Caoimhe Bresnan 13th and Eimer Murphy 30th all running well in a field of over 130 runners. In the junior girls race Emily Murphy ran a great race to finish 9th and led her team from St Dominics to 3rd place overall. Katie Hanna was 21st and Abbey Corr ran her best race ever finishing a fine 25th. Alison Armstrong ran strongly in the senior girls race finishing 4th. Well done to all.
