Well done to the 32 athletes who made the long journey to Tralee race course on Sunday, Nov 8th, for the Munster Championships and thanks for the 12 parents/coaches who travelled and helped out on the day.
All performed well, in cross country conditions described as soft under foot, from the first race of the U9 girls, Lindsey McGuire, Emma Caulfield, Emma Lowe and Lucy Hogan right through to the Girls under 17 where Siobhain Heylin ran one of her best races to date to qualify for the Munster team and county team at the All-Ireland Championships to be held in Coleraine.
As a result of their great runs many of our runners have made it through to the All-Ireland cross country championships on the Waterford county team to be held in Coleraine early in December.
The following athletes are part of the county team:
Boys U11 Hugo Blair and David McGlynn
Girls U13 Gwyneth Blair
Girls U15 Saoirse Casey Power, Eimear Elliott and Claire Purcell,
Boys U 17 Alan Slattery and Eamon Beardsley.
Girls U17 Siobhain Heylin, and Elaine Stone.
Waterford AC Juvenile Section are delighted that so many of our young athletes performed so well, were well behaved throughout and enjoyed the day. A beautiful meal was wolfed on the way back in Youghal and a restful sleep followed.
Well done to all our athletes and best of luck to those who now go on to the All Irelands.
