The All-Ireland Cross-Country Relays took place in Abbotstown last Sunday.
Super 4th For Girls u11
First out were our Girls u11. Each team had four athletes all running 500m each. Niamh got team in a super spot after the first leg and after storming runs from Lucy and Viola they handed over to Orlaith who brought the team home to finish 4th. A great performance and following up the Squads 3rd place in the All-Ireland 4x100m relay in the summer.
Next up the Boys u11 who were making their All-Irelands debut. But nerves were dusted off as soon as that gun went and Leon, Ruben, Adam and Olly came home a fantastic 14th place.
Our final team out was the Girls u13 team. This Squad are probably our most experienced having been competing together now for 4 seasons. It was great to see Coach Marie being able to use her full squad in an All-Ireland event with Eva and Liliya making their debuts at All-Ireland level. A massive team performance saw the girls finish 7th with Sarah passing to Eva to Ava with Liliya finishing.
The All-Ireland Cross-Country relays are very competitive with over 30 teams from all around the country in the events, so really encouraging to see our teams so competitive.
