During the school term Scoil Mhuire girls compete in County, Provincial and National Championships in both Cross Country and Track & Field. Every year girls do very well and this year was no exception. In the Cross Country Meets we had two girls who qualified for the Leinster Schools Cross Country; Robyn and Kallie Larkin who are dedicated athletes. And in the Leinster Schools Track & Field three girls qualified, Eabha Hanley, Aisling Shevin and Lucy Mooney. In the Track & Field we had two girls who qualified for the Schools All Irelands; Aisling Shevlin competing in the 300m and 300mh, and Lucy Mooney in the Long jump. Aisling won her 300mh and 2nd in the 300m qualifying her to run for Ireland in the Schools International Athletics Board (SIAB) in July in Derby, UK. This is for elite Junior athletes competing in all disciplines against England, Scotland and Wales. Aisling did her school and country proud by coming 3rd in the 300mh and 2nd in the 4 x 300m relay team.
Lucy Mooney also represented her country in the International Sports Federation for Catholic Schools (ISFCS) in Budapest in July. The girls Irish team came 1st overall and were competing against Hungary, Germany and Belgium.
Athletics covers all the fundamentals of sport, i.e. Agility, Balance and Co-ordination.
