Dublin Championships Day 1 Phoenix Park
Our athletes were in great form on a lovely day for cross country in the Phoenix Park today. First off were our under 10 girls with Aoife, Sheona, Lilly and Niamh all running very well and narrowly missing out on 3rd team. Finn and Oisin both ran very well in the boys race. Our under 12 girls team were in great form with Antonia coming a very fine 2nd, Alex 11th, Antoinette 12th, Keelin 15th, Kacey 18th, Clare 26th and Julianne 27th. The team finished first overall and have qualified for Nationals in Santry on the 22nd of November. Well done girls!
Next up was our under 14 girls and despite losing athletes due to illness and other committments our girls ran well with Claire Murphy leading the team and Cliodhna, Laura May, Sara and Sara Jane all completing a tough 3 k course. Sean Donoghue was next up in the boys 3k and he ran a really smart race to record a fantastic win. His first Dublin cross country title! Great run Sean. Ben Casey ran in the under 16 boys 4k and he found it very tough but he battleed all the way to the end. In the Boys under 18 race Daire Finn was running up an age group and Evan and himself were running 6k for the first time. Daire had a great run finishing 3rd and Evan also ran really well just finishing one place outside the medals.
In the junior womens 4k race Cliona Murphy finished a fine 10th with Alison Armstrong not far behind. In the mens race Pierre was racing cross country for the first time in 12 months and did very well coming 3rd in his race leaving many top juniors behind him. A long day all. Thanks to everyone who stayed to support our older girls Niamh, Claire, Sinead, Aoife, Edel and Fiona in the open 5k. They all raced hard in their first senior outing for the current season in a very competitive field. Great day! Cant wait for the next races. ☺
