After his heroic run to claim second in the National Under 23 Cross Country Championships in Abbotstown yesterday, Mitchell Byrne has been picked to represent Ireland at the European Cross Country Championships in Chia, Italy on December 11th. Details of all the Irish selections are on the Athletics Ireland website. Everyone in the Club wishes Mitchell every success and his selection is a fitting reward for his dedication to his running  over the years. Carla Sweeney WSAF AC was also picked on the Junior Ladies team. Carla was 4th in the Junior Ladies race yesterday. Cillian Doherty also from WSAF AC was 16th in the Junior mens race in Abbotstown.  Well done to all and to their coach Paul Fleming who runs with the Club.
