Clonliffe schools cross country

Well done to all who represented their schools today in Trinity grounds at the Brother cross country races.

Pearl o Brien was an outstanding winner of the 6th class race with Jessica Ryan in 2nd place and Maggie in 3rd and the team from MHOC finished 1st with good backup from Amelia Carmody. We don’t have all the team details from the primary schools races but good to see Evie, Saoirse, Canice, Edward, Caroline,Juliette, Alexander, Aoife and probably others we missed out there representing john Boscos and MHOC.

In the secondary schools races Saoirse Bergin finished 7th in the minor race, where Freya also had a solid run. In the junior race Aimee, Erin, Aoibhinn and Martha finished 3rd team for st Dominic’s, in the inter race Lily Farrell had a great run and led her team of Max, Shona and Eva to 2nd place.
Cliodhna Ryan ran a gutsy race today winning the senior race , Clare was 4th, Ash was 7th and Eva was the heroine of the day running inter and senior races. St Dominic’s won the senior and also won the award for the best girls school overall.

Christopher had a good run over 5k and finished strongly to finish 11 th in the senior boys. Great run! Well done everyone and thank you to Jacinta, David and Dave for support and lifts. Great day!!
