Congratulations to four of our students who represented the school at the All-Ireland Schools Athletics Championships in Tullamore at the weekend. Alison Guerin literally set the bar high with a silver medal performance in the Minor Girls Pole Vault. She secured a personal best, with a successful clearance of 2.65.
Hugh Cussen, pictured collecting his Athlete of the Year award at Sports Day, ventured to Offaly the following day. There he secured bronze in the Minor Boys long jump, again achieving a personal best 5.28. These are two exciting first-year athletes with bright futures ahead of them.
Congratulations must also go to JP Guerin, who finished 6th in the Intermediate Boys Long Jump (5.77), and to Fionn Loughnane, who finished 10th in the Intermediate Boys Steeplechase, having only recently moved to this event. For the school to have such representation at national level is a fantastic achievement. Well done to all!
