A hardy group of KCH athletes made their way to Clonakilty today. The reason was to sample the Clonakilty Waterfront 10K. Among the group taking part were Andrew Smith, Mary Harrington, Statia O'Carroll, Hilda Comerford, Angela Lalor and Martina McGrath.

Grace Richardson wrapped up her cross country season with a fab run in the NCAA Division 111 cross country championships held in Newville, Pennsylvania today.  Representing her college, New York University, she placed 9th to lead the college team into second place.

A fine chapter in our club's history was written in mud covered Gowran today. Our junior ladies led by Maebh Richardson in 4th place and Hannah Kehoe in 6th place won the junior championship.

At the same event Hannah Kehoe, representing San Francisco, came home in 145th place (21.5).

However with 23 Leinster medals coming home there was plenty to cheer about. Star of the day has to be Kyrell Mtinsi who took individual gold in the boys under 15. Kate Kelly with bronze in the u13 girls race was excellent. Other stars claiming Leinster team medals were Eoin Hoyne 6th boys u11; Katie Byrne 6th girls u13; [...]
