Scoil Bhríde Athletics
There was great victory for Scoil Bhríde Kilcullen in this year’s Cross
Country. Both teams came home with a cup. The girls ran first. They had to run
a distance of 1km. There were over 150 girls in the race. The girls that ran
for Scoil Bhríde Kilcullen were Ellen Coleman, Edwina Birchall, Amy Tyrell,
Leah Tyrell, Saoirse O’ Brien and Alex Connors. All the girls ran a fantastic
race. The girls came 1st place overall and brought the cup home for
the 3rd year in a row.
After the girls were finished the boys were up next. The boys had to run
a distance of 1.2km. The boys that ran for Scoil Bhríde Kilcullen were Finn
Cowper Grey, Paddy Taylor, Dara Coughlin, Tadhg Brophy, Daniel Baars, Kyle
O’Connell and Rory Taylor. All the boys ran amazing. The boys came 1st
place overall as well. This is a second win in three years for the boys.
Unfortunately Sinéad Moran, Katlynn Hogg, Dermot Coleman, Szymon
Stepniak and Tom Healy were all injured and couldn’t run but came along for the
support. We would like to thank Mr. O’ Raoghaill and Mr. Lloyd for training us
and preparing us for the race. We would also like to thank all the parents who
came along to support and Mrs. Flanagan for all her support. We had a great day
out. Scoil Bhríde Abú!
