THERE were 400 athletes from Kerry and West Limerick secondary schools competing at the annual Kerry Schools Track& Field Championships which were held on Tuesday at Riocht Athletic Track, Castleisland.
IT was a good day for one Tralee school in particular as the Shields for Best Girls School and Best Boys School was won by Mercy Mounthawk. Tralee CBS came second in the Boys School category and their athletes also scooped a number of first place on the day.
The girls from Tralee schools didn’t fare as well but nevertheless Mercy Mounthawk, Presentation and Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí participants had a number of places between them. Scroll down for photos and full results…
