After the success of the Cross Country teams at the District Championships we set off to the Ulster Championships with high expectations and the girls from Strathearn did not disappoint bringing home the Minor and Junior Ulster Titles and were runners up in the Mini competition.
The weather was not in our favour with snow showers throughout the day but the teams did not let it affect them and all ran extremely well. All the results are listed below but special mention to Amelia Kane who was 2nd individually in the Mini race, Murphy Miller who was 2nd individually in the Minor race and Olivia Nelson stole the show with her superb run winning the Junior race.
The Minor team were Ulster Champions in the Mini age group last year so have 2 consecutive Ulster titles which is a fantastic achievement but the Juniors went one better to make this their 3rd consecutive win in these Championships which has never been done by a Strathearn team before. Olivia Nelson has also made Strathearn history with her 2nd consecutive individual gold medal.
The Minor and Junior Team have now qualified for the Irish Championships in Clongowes Wood College, Co Kildare on the 7th March.
Best of luck to these girls!
