Country 2008 - 2009
2008
2009 was very successful year for the First and Second
year girls cross country squads. The girls came on
in leaps and bounds since the beginning of the year,
and were speeding around the infamous ‘St Gerard’s
Mile’ during their training sessions!
Throughout
the year both first and second year squads have competed
in the Leinster Cross Country League. The girls raced
very well in the first meet in Blackrock on the 29th
October, particularly Louise Gilmore, Foidha Campell,
Hannah Reynolds, Aine McCabe, Claire Foley, Shannon
O Brien whom all finished high up in their field.
Both
boys and girls teams ran in the Phoenix Park on the
25th October and in DUC on the 14th January, and were
a credit to themselves and their school. With 90 schools
entered, all athletes performed well in very wet and
mucky conditions. Outstanding performances on the
day went to: Claire Foley, Foidha Campell, Cormac
Tierney, Shannon O Brien, Aoibheann Boyd, Karla Gallagher
and Laura Gallagher.
