Munster Cross Country Championships (even ages)
- Winner
Congratulations to all of the Newport athletes who competed in the Munster cross-country championships.
The competition took place in very challenging conditions which got progressively worse throughout the day. Despite the tough conditions our Newport athletes performed well with Emma Coleman adapting well to a fast pace to finish in 8 place in the under U10 among stiff competition earning an individual medal. Chantelle Ryan also had a good race and performed well in her first Munster competition.
Emma Fagan, Thea Curtin, Emma Flanagan, Roisin Allen and Niamh Cryan all performed well in the U12 with Emma Fagan taking up an early lead at one stage and finishing in an impressive 6 place in a race where the pace picked up in the second half.
Elaine Yelverton (U14) ran an impressive race finishing second home for Tipperary and 20th position overall.
Both Mike (U23) and Niamh (Novice) Yelverton braved the worsening track conditions in the 6k and 3k route respectively to finish well among a highly competitive field.
