Continuing a schools’ winning streak that strteches back to 2009 was Siofra Cleirigh Buttner of Colaiste Iosagain who won the girls’ inter title for a second year.
In the girl’s senior race, Clar Nic Chartaigh of Colaiste Iosagain took her first Leinster cross-country title.
Putting in another assured performance to win the boys’ inter race was Aaron O’Hanlon of St Mary’s Dundalk.

In the women’s senior race, marathon specialist Linda Byrne finished 11th. The team finished a creditable fifth, despite lacking Aoife Culhane, who was ill, but will return for the National Intercounties.
The senior men’s team suffered when national champion Joe Sweeney, who had not recovered from a tough race in San Sebastian a week earlier, failed to finish the race. Killian Mooney 36th was best of the junior boys. This was the first time a single club had represented Ireland in all four races. Note: excellent report by John Evevs on DSD website.
Laura Shaughnessy of Loughrea and Clonliffe’s Jayme Rossiter won the national inter titles in a mudfest at Lough Key Forest Park. Pauline Curley and Ciaran O’Doherty were first masters.
