Meath Uneven Ages Cross Country Report



The Meath uneven ages cross country championships were held yesterday at Fr. Murphy’s Athletic Club, Athboy, we had a great turnout from the club with 54 athletes competing from U9 up to U17. We were blessed with the weather again for the second week in a row and the relatively flat course at Fr. Murphy’s made for some very fast racing. The u9 girls and boys got the club off to a great start with both teams claiming team gold with terrific scores of 18 and 24 points respectively. There were some great individual performances from Sophie Quinn who won the u9 girls 800m in impressive style, with Ava Fay hot on her heels in 3rd place, Laura Kelly 4th and Hannah Bailey 10th. The boys were led home by Cian Crawford taking 2nd, Eoin Kane 3rd, Harry O’ Connor 6th and Sam Carey 13th
The u11 girls were not to be out done, putting in a great team performance with 13 points claiming gold. Aimee Doherty led home the girls in first place with Ella Healy 2nd, Aoife Rutherford 3rd and Lily O’ Connor 7th, Molly Keane also running well in 14th, this all goes well for the Leinster cross country on the 10th of November with all girls qualifying as part of a very strong county and club team. The u11 boys’ team came second with good performances from Tom Kilgannon 5th, Kyle Witter 10th, Matthew Hayes 12th and Nathan O’ Connor 26th

The U13 boys and girls teams also got their hands on medals, with the girls team finishing 2nd and the boys team finishing 1st, Karen Hayes had a strong finish to take an individual bronze medal, with Maria Rogers, Sophie O’ Connor and Rachel Doherty making up the four scoring members of the team. Harry Haskins was first home for the boy’s team in 9th, followed by Fergal Kilgannon 15th, Darragh Casey 17th and Radu Olaru 25th.
Aine O’ Connor was the only u15 girl out for the club and had a good run to finish 4th in a highly competitive field. Alex Hunter had another great battle finishing 2nd, followed by Gareth Doyle, Pierce Butler, Harry Bailey and Cormac Butler, the boys finished 3rd in the team event.
Deirdre Healy made a great come back finishing 1st in the girl’s u17 4000m. The boy’s u17 team also struck gold with good performances from Ciaran McCarty 1st, Philip Marron 3rd and Peter Kilgannon 4th; this is another good club team to watch out for at the forthcoming Leinster Championships.

Thanks to all athletes and parents who attended both days of the Meath Cross Country Championships, We had our best year ever with Team gold in the Girls U9,10,11 & 12, Boys U9,10,13,16 &17, Team silver in the Boys U11 & 12, Girls U13, and Team bronze in the Boys U14 & 15. We also won 6 Individual gold, 5 silver and 6 bronze medals.
