The main highlight for the juniors this week was the East Coast AC Cross Country event at Larne (much more on that later).
Saturday started with the 5K Waterworks Parkrun. We had 3 junior Harriers taking part. Congratulation to the Steeles and Eva and well done on the PBs for Oisín and Eva:

Later that morning, we had a bunch of juniors travel up to Larne for the East Coast AC XC. The wind really picked up and it almost felt gale-forced at times with a very bitter chill in the air.
First off was young Fintan Leheny in the Boys’ Mini race. Fintan did a great run and from the photo below was very pleased.

Ethan Wiltshire was the only Harrier taking part in the Minor Boys’ race and he ran fantastically, taking second place and earning a well deserved podium finish. Well done Ethan.

The Girls’ Junior race came next with all eyes on Cassie Curran. Cassie ran a great race and along with her other superb performances in the same series picked up the top overall trophy prize. Excellent Cassie!

The Boys’ Junior race had Cormac Leheny, Alex Reid and Thomas Coy taking part. The 3 P7 boys did a great race, holding their own with some older, secondary school boys in their race. Well done to all 3 of you.
