17th January - Schools Cross Country
As most were wondering if there was a chance schools would close due to the cold and frosty weather our Secondary School athletes were eagerly anticipating the cross country schools races held in Adamstown on Wednesday. A biting cold breeze coupled with a frosty start resulted in hard ground and scenic picture opportunities as large numbers of teenage athletes turned up to race in their school colours.
Orla Dolan & Meadhb McCormack were 10th & 11th representing Presentation Wexford Minor with team winning gold.
Zac Dee ran the Intermediate race representing Good Counsel New Ross.
Alex Lonergan and Elijah Page Redmond ran the same race but in St Peters Wexford colours.
Josh Nolan and Fiachra Mehigan also ran the same race but in CBS Wexford colours with team finishing in gold.
Brilliant to see the gang taking on the challenge and representing their schools.
Well done to you all on your performances
21st January - Leinster Masters Cross Country
Tony Harpur drove to Avondale Forest Park in County Wicklow to run the Leinster Masters Cross Country 7k. As you can imagine the ground was wet it was very windy and raining but that did not deter Tony. In fact it made him even more determined. A tough loop for runners and Tony finished in a very creditable 83rd place with a super time of 30:15.
Well done to you Tony.
20th January - parkrun
A miserable wet and breezey morning at Wexford Racecourse Parkrun as Dermot Foley, Brian Smyth, Eamonn Foley, Helen Wallace, Ali Ashgar Khoyee, Fran Power, Sarah Bermingham, Mary Cronin, Marie Casey Breen, Michael Murphy,Bridie McGuire, Martin Kelly, John & Sharron Dier all completed their 5k.
On Sunday morning as the storm started to build John Dier & Bridie McGuire travelled up to Olyegate and ran the 5k in aid of the local National School, tough going in that weather guys.
