After all the rain of recent weeks it was mucky conditions for the Dublin Uneven Ages Cross Country in Santry today. The Dublin Uneven Ages Cross Country involves all clubs in Dublin and races can have up to 100 athletes competing.
Orlaith and Olly, both mastered the underfoot conditions to finish 3rd and 4th in their respective races. Both qualify for the All-Irelands in Meath in December and will be part of the Dublin team. Well done to both.
Olly led the Boys u11 in the team race with Ruben, Alex, Etienne, Leon & Freddie while the Girls u11 were led by Orlaith with Niamh, Lucy and Amelia in their team.
Good performances across the board in the U9 and U13 ages with Melanie, Luzia, Marina, Maddy, Denis and Lorenzo making their Cross-Country Championships debut in U9 while Liliya, Ava and Arthur running well in the very competitive u13 age group.
Cross-country coach Dan said ‘Well done to all for working hard in preparation for this. They have shown huge commitment in training this Autumn’ while Coach Marie ‘was really happy with the performances of the athletes in the championships and they will now turn their focus to the Indoor season’.
There is one round of the League left in 3 weeks while Danny (in two weeks) and Orlaith & Olly (in four weeks) will be competing for Dublin in their All-Irelands. All in the club are proud to have the athletes representing Dublin County in the All-Irelands.
