Ace AC athletes had a great day at the even ages Louth Cross Country Championships at Darver on Sunday.
There was some very impressive performances from many young athletes including a very good 5th place for Kate O Donnell in the girls U14 3k race. She was strong throughout. Lauren Faulkner unfortunately had to pull out of the same race due to injury.
Ollie Marron ran out of age in the boys’ U12 race, and was very impressive, alongside Tayo Lawrence and Seamus Sheridan.
Sisters Sophie and Hannah Black both performed very well today in their u10 and u12 races while Ruairi Cooney just missed out on a medal finishing in 5th place in the boys U10s.
Ace Newcomer Tadgh Scanlon drew lots of praise from his coaches for his fine performance in the boy’s u14 race. He’s definitely an athlete to watch.
The u16s girls’ race was an Ace domination with Irish International Sholah Lawrence taking gold with Chloe Cooney running out of age in second place, followed by new signing Ciara OConnor, impressive in 3rd.
The boys U16s race was also good one for Ace with Lorcan Forde Dunne taking gold. Fergus Nolan looked strong in 7th as did Killian Sheridan in 8th. The ever improving duo of Christian Kelly & Jamie O’Reilly followed very close behind. Rhys Clarke had started well but dropped out with injury.
To finish the day, Eimear Cooney continued her improving form and secured Louth silver in the girls’ u18 4K and Shea O’Donnell comfortably won the boys u18 Louth title gold with Niall Murray looking very strong in 5th.
All Ace athletes will be looking forward to the uneven age Louth Cross Country championships in Dundalk next weekend.
