Cork Schools Invitational Cross-Country
Date: 12/12/10
Togher athletes competed on the double at Cork IT on Friday, competing at the Cork Schools Invitational Cross-Country and the Floodlight Cross-Country. The clubs athletes did very well at both events dominating the top 10 in each.
The 2nd annual Cork schools invitational cross-country was held at Cork IT over a 1km lap. The 1st year boys team from Douglas CS was just pipped for team gold by 1 point but produced some outstanding running with James Gorton 4th and Daniel Leahy 5th. Other great races came from Alan Morgan, Aidan De Saulles, Jack Twomey and Eoin Noonan. The 2nd/3rd year boys race was held over 2km and here Alan Ring had a fine win with Brendan Couch 3rd, Liam Harris 4th, Jack O Mahony 5th, Jamie O Connell 6th and Declan O Herlihy 7th. Douglas CS easily won the team title. Finally in the 4th/5th/6th year race over 3km Cullen Lynch raced to a fine win with Emmet Bracken 2nd, Ian Tobin 3rd and Mark Seacy 4th. Douglas CS again easily won the team title. Well done to all and a nice blowout for the All-Ireland Cross-Country championships in Tullamore next week where the club will have strong u15, u17, u19 and novice teams in action.
Cork IT also hosted a floodlight cross-country that evening where the club had a number of athletes in action. The race was held over 5km and Eoin O Sullivan had a great run for 2nd place with 17.03, Donal Coakley 5th 17.26, Shane Coffey 7th 17.32, Pa Murphy 8th 17.33, Jeremy Walsh 18th 19.15. Well done to all on some fine performances.
