Great excitement as boys and girls from 3rd to 6th class attended Valleymount Cross Country Championships on the 17th October 2023.
Following the trials that were held in school, 4 boys and 4 girls from 3rd to 6th class went forward to Valleymount on the 17th October 2023 to take part in the Cross Country Running Championships.
Although it was an early start for all runners, everyone was excited for the races to get underway! Following a course walk to get familiar with the track, runners began to get ready and warm up. Ballyconnell NS pupils sported the new athletics jerseys for the first time. These were sponsored by Tullow Credit Union last year.

Ballyconnell NS was very well represented with everyone trying their best. There were some great results on the day. Congratulations to Christopher O’ Toole (5th Class) who took 2nd place and a silver medal!
Take a look at some more pictures from the day.
