We had a great weekend of racing at the Dublin Indoors this weekend too – report to follow!
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!
(Thanks to Ken Donoghue for the pics!)
A number of our athletes were back in action in Athlone this weekend competing in the Irish Intervarsity Championships.
Pierre (DCU) was first on track showing immense class as he cruised to victory in the mens 3000m. We also had Cliona (TCD) & Claire (DCU) in action in the womens 1500m both recording strong runs in 4:49.10 and 4:49.80 respectively. Despite having a hectic week and battling a head cold, Catherine (DCU) showed some real competitive spirit running the 200m heat, followed 20mins later by the 60m hurdles, then the 200m final and finished it all off running in the 4x200m relay for DCU.
Well done everyone! You can watch the action all again on YouTube below. (You may need to rewind to the start!)

Catherine Mcmanus and Pierre Murchan both competed in the AAI games today in Athlone. Catherine had an iffy hamstring after the joys of the league final yesterday so decided not to do the hurdles but she ran a personal best in the 200m. Pierre was in with the big boys today in a crowded field and despite getting bumped around a bit managed to knock 3 seconds of his personal best time for 1500m running 3mins 54.88 secs. With Finn and Caoimhe getting pbs yesterday in their 400m races and the women’s team bronze this has been a great weekend for the club. Well done everyone 😊
