On Monday, 19th May, a team from St Pat’s (5th and 6th classes), along with Mr Skelly and Ms Kealy, represented the school in an athletics competition in Morton Stadium, Santry.
The first event was a flag-bearing ceremony for all the schools’ athletes.
Then there was the long jump and shot putt events. Cian and Nathan participated in these two activities.
After that was the 80m sprint. Hugh and Callan were our school’s athletes for this event.
Following that was Sam running in the 600m race. He came 3rd and got the bronze medal!
Finally, we had the relay (4 x 100m). We had two teams competing in this event; one from 5th class and one from 6th class. 5th was represented by Conor, Dara, Ted and Hugh, and 6th was represented by Patrick, Aodhán, Michael and Callan.
Special mention to Harry, Sebbie, Louis and Noah who also featured in the team.
The competition was the culmination of many lunchtime practices on the DCU Astro led by Mr Skelly, Ms Kealy and Mr Tubridy.
Well done to all involved!
