Scoil Barra Congratulates its very own Sporting Hero!

On the eve of Our Annual Scoil Barra Sports Day, we would like to congratulate our very own ‘in-house’ athletics star, staff member Sinéad O’Connor on her recent successes in both Regional and National events in recent weeks and months. Just this week, she set a P.B. in the John Buckley 5K race in the marina clocking an incredible time of 17.08! Ms. O’Connor began her running year well in September in the Cork Ladies Mini-Marathon coming home in a key medal position and she has been blazing a trail ever since! Some of those other ‘golden’ moments of the season include leading honours at the Intervarsity 3k Championship held at the National Indoor Arena in Athlone, the All-Ireland 3K Indoors Championship Final also held in Athlone and the very recent team title at the All-Ireland Road Relay Competition for her beloved Leevale Athletics club. No doubt that Ms. O’Connor’s exciting performances on the track and field circuit will inspire our own young athletes to follow their dreams! Who knows the Olympics may even be within their grasp in future years. Comhghairdeas arís Ms. O’Connor, tá ard-mholadh tuillte agat!
