Fantastic day for HFC Athletics
 
Today HFC athletics, St Pauls athletics, and our local running club Raheny Shamrocks hosted an athletics race for 24 schools (around 500 students) in St Anne’s Park. HFC athletics coaches Tom and Anne organized a brilliant event. 
 
Great leadership was shown by Freya O’Carroll and Sophie Kelly who helped show the course to younger year groups and helped with warmups. 10 volunteer TY students helped with stewarding the race and at the finishing line. Thank you to Freya, Aoibheann, Laura, Niamh, Rachel, Emily, Dora, Dasha, Elise, and Angelika.
