The first event on the juvenile Cork athletics cross country calendar, being the even age championships, was held on Sunday the 7th of October on lands outside of Macroom. A change of venue was announced on Saturday and it turned out to be a great challenging course which was well laid out with very good underfoot conditions. Huge numbers were in attendance making for very competitive races on what was a cold and windy day.
Representing the club were Aidan Collins u. 10, Finnian Lawton u.12, Damien Williams u.12, Eva Leahy, Beibhinn Horstmanhoff, Lily Collins all u. 12, Caoimhe Horstmanhoff u.14, Sean Lawton, Colm Hegarty, Fionn Harrington all u. 14, Aoibheann Lawton & Caoimhe Cotter both u. 16. Medals were awarded to the top 6 finishers in each race. Sean Lawton was a convincing and worthy winner of the boys u. 14 race. Aoibheann Lawton was just outside of the medals finishing in 7th position as was Fionn Harrington who finished in 8th place. Well done to all who participated and put in a great effort.
