Kilkenny Athletes travelled in force to Mullingar on Sunday for Round 1 of the Leinster Cross Country Championships. Juvenile Athletes competed in the even age category races from u12 to u18 and the Seniors were competing at Novice and Masters level.
There were some fine performances in the face of stiff competition and a number of individual, club team and county team medals were brought home by the athletes.
Conor Clarke, Castlecomer (3rd) closely followed by David O Carroll, Gowran (4th) lead home the Under 12 county boy’s team to take silver. No medals in the girls U12 but Ruth Kennedy Gowran ran well to finish in 4th position.
Helen Haynes, St Josephs (9th) lead home St Josephs to take 2nd club and also Kilkenny to 2nd County in the Girls U14 race.
