Leinster Schools Cross Country
Go to school or run around Phoenix Park ?
Tough choice but the run won out for Fiachra Mehigan today. He travelled up to Dublin to compete in the Leinster Schools Cross Country event in the Junior Boys category for his school CBS Wexford. Another excellent performance from this young athlete who loves the longer distances. He is a dedicated young man and today in a very tough race he was the 2nd Wexford athlete over the line finishing in 11 min 53 seconds in 47th place.
Well done to you Fiachra
Enniscorthy 10k
The Old Dublin Road was overflowing with the colours of a multitude of club vests as 260 entrants all warmed up awaiting the start gun. The roads were wet but luckily the rain held off for the most part making good running conditions.
As is the norm with any race hosted by the clubs of County Wexford Menapians athletes were present. Today's number was 9 athletes with 8 men and 1 lady lining up on the start line ready to go.
Another successful day for Martin as he claimed the M70 prize. Brian had the honour of first club member home with Tony only seconds behind, with the other club members strung out across the field as athletes came through in quick succession.
Slaney Olympic Athletic Club again showed their ability to host a race seamlessly as parking and number collection was so easy. Well done to all involved in the organising committee. Congratulations to them on another successful event.
Congratulations to everyone who ran. Looks like lots of athletes are I good shape for the upcoming Novice Road Race in March.
