Nationals in Santry update.
Sean Donoghue was our star performer in Santry this weekend when he finished a very close 2nd in the under 14 boys race . Sean was very well positioned all the way around and despite losing a shoe halfway didnt loose his concentration and led the race into the home straight where he was chased hard by a runner from Kinsale who just pipped him on the line. A great result and a big improvement on his 8th place last year.
In the junior mens race Pierre got an unusually poor start and had a lot to do to get in touch with the leading group. He managed to stay in touch enough to hang on for dear life to 6th place overall which secured him a place on the Irish team for the European cross country championships in France in December. He is the first athlete from the Club to make an Irish team for the European cross country championships. Well done Pierre!
Alison Armstrong finished 10th and Cliona Murphy was 17th in the junior womens race. Daire Finn was 38th in the under 18 boys race which was up an age group for him. Our under 12 girls team battled it out and finished 12th team overall.
Our senior team were attempting 8k crosscountry for the first time and they all found it tough going, First in was Niamh Donnelly in 30th place, Clare Brennan was 46th, Sinead Cronin was 52nd, Aoife was 62nd and Aislinn finished 64th.
Could all the athletes and supporters who were there on Sunday check their bags as somebody put a watch in the wrong bag before their race and couldnt find it after. Let Mary or Dermot know if you find it.
