Despite Storm Chandra looming, over 1,000 athletes from schools all over Cork and Kerry ,lined up for the South Munster Schools Cross Country races at Tramore Valley Park yesterday.
Under high winds and torrential rain, the underfoot conditions deteriorated very quickly and the races became as much of a mental challenge as a physical one.
Caoimhe Flannery ,representing SCS ,made light of the conditions, coming home in 2nd place in the Senior Girls' race.
With the first 15 individuals and 4 teams qualifying for the Munster Schools, Caoimhe will now proceed to the Munsters on Thurs Feb 12th .
Well done Caoimhe.
