Lauren top performer in North Connacht Schools Cross-country
Well done to all our members who performed so well in the North Connacht Schools Cross-country in Calry on Thursday.
We had some excellent performances in all age groups but topping everyone today was Lauren Reynolds who was a fantastic second in the Minor Girls race - a race that may have been her first outing on the country. Lauren started off conservatively but moved through the field at incredible pace and passed second and third in the final 200m to take second in a great performance.
Fiachra Henry was our next top finisher as he finished fifth in the Inter Boys race. Fiachra didn't ease down for this race, training hard on Tuesday and a conservative approach paid dividends as he cut through the field over the second lap and was very unlucky not to take fourth place.
Cian Mollahan put in a great strong run in the Minor Boys race, finishing an estimated eighth with a great strong performance while Iarlaith O'Brien came through strongly for 28th with Jack Keenehan 41st. Well done also to John Cunningham and Ryan Mulligan who rounded out the team.
Anna Corcoran, running for Drumshanbo VS, made light of recent illness to finish in the top ten in the Inter Girls, a nice solid run after her bout out of action.
Evan Corcoran was another top ten finisher, displaying his usual trademark strong finish in the Junior Boys race.
Congrats also to Ellie O'Rourke, who trains with our gang, on winning the Junior Girls race with an impressive performance.
Ayran Patrasco had a tough day with injury in the Senior Boys while Liam McGinn ran well in Inter Boys
When we get definite placings, we will let you all know.
