Well done to Aisling Stock, Aoibheann Lawton, Ellen Collins, Caoimhe Cotter, Rebecca Harrington & Sophie Harrington who all competed in the Munster Schools Cross Country Championships today at Waterford I.T. in cold and blustery weather. Although ground conditions were very good, the course itself is a very challenging one with a lot of testing hills. All athletes put in strong performances for their schools, Colaiste Pobail Bheanntrai & Scoil Mhuire, Ballingeary. Aoibheann Lawton narrowly missed out on a qualifying spot for the All Ireland finals finishing in 17th place. Congratulations to Rebecca Harrington who finished in 15th place in the Intermediate Girls race and qualified for the All Ireland Schools Cross Country Championships which will be held in 2 weeks time at the same venue.
Well done to all girls for competing so strongly throughout the cross country season and no doubt the strength and endurance they will have gained from their cross country running will stand to them in the Track & Field season.
