Our very first school cross - country race was held in St. Cuthbert's Park on Tuesday the 28th of March. The day was dry and windy which made for a tough but enjoyable event. We had three races - 5th/6th class boys, 5th/6th class girls and 3rd/4th class boys and girls, as well as a team event. There were medals for the first three boys and girls to finish in each year level. Scores were combined for a team score. Our winning boys' team was Roscommon and our winning girls' team was Cork. Some fantastic finish times and personal bests were recorded.

Well done to all the children in 4th class for completing our Cross Country Santa Run. Congratulations to our fastest boy (4:51) and fastest girl (5:00). Training will return in the New Year.

Cross Country squad members completed the kilometre challenge to mark the end of training for this year. Full attendance certificates were awarded to two members for attending every session this year. We are looking forward to the club's return in September.

Congratulations to the first recipients in third class of the attendance award. They have attended 10 training sessions so far this season. Well done!!

Well done to all the runners who took part in the first race of the year which took place on Thursday the 6th of February. We're very proud of you, the behavior was excellent and the running was very impressive. We had a few outstanding performers; 
Callum was 2nd in the Paralympic event
Joy finished 2nd in the fourth class race
Justin finished 2nd in the third class race and
Amaka finished 3rd in the third class race. 
We also had lots of top ten finishes, all of whom earned points for our school and lots of great fast finishes. Well done everyone! Have a look for your action photo on the notice boards in the main school.

Well done to all the dedicated members of St.Ronan’s Cross Country Club who have been training every Monday and Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoons since September.

Congratulations to Justin and Veronica the fastest children in 3rd class, Mullumbe and April the fastest in 4th, Seun and Hannah the fastest in 5th and Dubem and Eman the fastest in 6th.

Fifty children were selected from the school's cross country running squad to compete in the SDCC final of 2019 school's cross country running series. The children all competed to the best of their ability with strong persistence and stamina on display. Three members of our squad qualified for the champions race having finished first at previous race days. Competition was high and they ran with great talent on the day. Behaviour on the day was exemplary and we are very proud of our squad.
