18 Students represented Santa Sabina on Wednesday 27th April at the annual North Leinster Track and Field Athletics event in Santry. It was a lovely sunny day and the students had a ball; competing in the events and making new friends.
Alex Keating and Róisín Ingle were two students who excelled in their particular event. Alex and Róisín both competed in the same event; Junior 75m Hurdles. Both Alex & Róisín won their respective semi-final heats before competing against each other in the final. There were six athletes in the 75m hurdles final but Alex and Róisín were the standout performers here. Both Alex and Róisín got off to a good start in this race and separated themselves from the chasing pack early on. It was then neck and neck between Alex and Róisín for the remainder of the race. At times it looked like Róisín was edging in front, however Alex's superb technique over the hurdles led her to clinch first place in a terrific race between the pair.
