Euro Cross Country Championships

We had 2 club athletes representing Ireland at the European Cross Country Championships in Chia, Italy. Carla Sweeney finished 31st in Junior women's race, 2nd lady home on the Irish team which finished 10th. Mitchell Byrne represented Ireland in the U23 race. Mitch made his international debut in warm conditions in Sardinia, finishing 57th, so training & studying in the United States looks to be paying off. Well done Mitch.
