In addition, Lucia Cairns placed 1st in her category in the All-Ireland Schools' Championship at Fota Wildlife Park before Easter. She completed the course in a very impressive time. Cieara Kilkenny also placed 2nd with Roisin Bent coming in 3rd. At the same event, the 3rd year boys' placed 3rd and the 1st year boys' team placed 4th overall.
