Scoil Bhride Cross Country wins

The 25th of March was the day of the school cross country running. We all came into school really nervous. At half-nine Mr O’Raoghaill called the team. Monica took a picture of the teams, then we set off on the bus. It took 45 minutes to get to Celbridge GAA club. When we got off the bus, the first race had started so we only had about 40 minutes to warm up.

The boys ran first. Luke Morris got a great start, finishing well in third place. We all jogged over to our start line. At that time the whole team was getting even more nervous.

The team lined up and the starter blew the whistle. At the start I sprinted and took the lead with my sister Katie behind me in second place. Katie finished in second and I finished first. The girls finished in the top 12. Then we all went to the medal presentation. Luke got his medal. Katie got her medal then I got mine. The girls got first team in the event.

Then we all got on the bus and back to Kilcullen. On the way home we stopped in the Copper Kettle for something to eat. The food was lovely. Then we came back to the school and did a lap.

Well done everybody who ran, you did great. Also thanks to Mr O’Raoghaill and Miss Flanagan for the great day out.
