  Fri 09 Dec 2022

  Today our cross country took part in Round 2 of the Primary schools Cross Country Competition. They all ran incredibly well in some very icy and frosty conditions. Special mention to our medal winners - Poppy Hannath came a very impressive 1st in the girls race and also Ella Lauchlan took part in a very exciting first ever wheelchair race at Lurgan Park. Specific results should be available on the Athletics NI website later this afternoon. Well done to everyone who raced - it was a very cold one!

Mrs Craig was only able to get a few photos but Triathlon Ireland had their own videographers and photographers there and we are looking forward to seeing their final edit.
