Presentation College has had a very successful term in athletics. In New Ross on 24th January, we had Lynsey Ward, Laura Ward and Niall Harvey qualify for the Leinster Schools cross country competition later this month.
On 8th February, eighteen students travelled to Abbotstown to a track and field event organised by the Leinster Schools Athletics Association. The Second Year Girls Team consisting of Aoife Ryan, Katie Ingram, Zoe Garrigan and Lynsey Ward won the 200m relay and the mixed relay team which included Darragh Kelly, Aoife Ryan, Aibha Kiernan, Zoe Garrigan, Alex Kelliher and Tyris O’Rock won the mixed relay.
We had great runs from the First Year students, with the boys’ team securing third place. Rhys Geoghegan, Jack Ralph, Adam Shaw and Shane Duffy ran very well for the First Year team and we also had some good performances from the Second Year students: Darragh Kelly, Alex Kelliher, Max Bolger and Jody Doyle Hutton. We also had some great runs from Sinéad Thompson, Emer O’ Hanlon, Tegan O’ Sullivan and Sarah Hegarty.
Well done to all involved!
