Silver for Sophia in Derry!

A high degree of physical and mental endurance was required yesterday in Templemore, Derry, to tackle the atrocious weather conditions, at the National Senior & Even Age Juvenile Cross Country Championships.   A big “well done” to all our athletes, parents and coaches who braved the elements.

Our U.12 girls were the first to go, and this team produced a very gutsy performance, led home by Sophia Stanley, who was just pipped for 1^st place.   Sophia ran a very brave race, improving on her 4^th place of last year.   The team just missed out on the medals finishing in 4^th place.   Sophia won silver with Dublin, and was joined by team mate Ciara Culhane, with Dylan McCambridge Crossan winning gold with the Dublin team.
