Over 700 turn out for Primary Schools Athletics

The 18th Annual Primary Schools Cross Country took place at Finn Valley A.C. on Tuesday.
The weather did not set us back with a record turnout of approximately over 700 students competing, representing thirty schools from around the county and further afield. The Primary Schools Cross Country is now in its 18th year and it continues to grow year on year, such is the increasing interest in the sport generally and the work done by all those schools and clubs who continue to foster a love of the sport.
This augurs well for the future of athletics, particularly cross country with many of the children taking part going on to compete for their clubs right into their teen years and beyond. Indeed, future stars of Irish athletics may well be taking part in this competition. This was day one of what is to be a busy week of athletics at Finn Valley Centre with the annual Secondary Schools Invite Cross Country on Wednesday, and the Champions Cup on Sunday 30th at 12.30pm.
