Congratulations to Le Cheile athlete Liam Murphy who finished 2nd in the Kildare Schools cross country championship on the 14th of April. Liam ran a brave race leading for the entire 1.5km race but unfortunately was passed in the final 20 metres by the more experienced and highly capable Luke Morris of Newbridge AC. Liam representing Scoil San Carlo has the honour of winning the first ever County Cross Country medal for his school.

This race followed a fine performance by Liam in the Great Ireland Run on the 10th of April where he finished 15th out of over 1000 athletes in the under 16 Juvenile event. Liam completed the 2.8km Great Ireland Race in a time of 11 minutes and 2 seconds.

Leinster Schools Track & Field

Julie Boyle and Erica Dixon were competing in the Leinster Schools last week.

Julie competed in sprint hurdles, unfortunately it was not her day she was suffering from cramp in her calf and did not make it through to the All-Irelands Schools. Julie is a terrific athlete and I'm sure her school is very proud of her as we are.

Erica competed on saturday in very wet and windy conditions, not ideally suited to Javelin. Erica was disappointed with her throws but securred 2nd place and will represent St Wolstans in the All-Irelands on 30th May in Tullamore. Best of luck.
