Cross Country

Our students took part in the South Tipperary Cross Country Championships in Marlfield today.

6th Class student James O'Sullivan shares his experience of the day.
"Today we went to the South Tipperary Cross Country Championships. We were running 800m. We were so excited but nervous at the same time. Kieran, Michael, Osgar and I were the top four finishers for the 5th/6th Class Boys. I came 9th, Kieran came 14th, Osgar came 25th, and Michael came 27th. We got a bronze medal.
The 5th/6th Class Girls won gold. The 3rd/4th Class Girls won bronze and the 3rd/4th Class Boys won silver. It was a day I'll never forget."

Cameron Burke from 6th Class had this to say:
"There were lots of races and we were waiting a while. When my race came up I got a bit nervous. But after the race I felt like I could do it all again. I came 37th in the race which is an improvement from last time."

Órla Ivors from 6th Class went running too:
"At 9:30 3rd-6th Class left for Marlfield for the Cross Country Championships. 5th/6th had to run 800m while 3rd/4th ran 600m. Before the races people were nervous knowing that they were soon going to run. We ate a little bit of chocolate before the race. Everybody did their very best. It was a very enjoyable day out and I had lots of fun."
