Last week the athletics team travelled to Morton Stadium in Santry to compete in the East Leinster track and field competition. Held over two days, this year we brought a large panel of athletes to compete in both sprint and long distance events. As well as a host of fantastic runs, we earned our first medal since the reintroduction of athletics to the school’s sporting calendar. Congratulations to Mile-Man Daniel McCabe on his bronze medal. Special thanks to Ms. O’Donnell who has been the chief organiser of both cross-country and track-&-field athletics in the school for the past two years. Full details of squad to follow in the upcoming Gazette, but top results and some pictures from this year’s athletics are shown below:
