Year 8 pupils at Lumen Christi College celebrated success in the Derry City Credit Union competition last night.  They scooped prizes as the winning school in the Stage 1 Under 13 category and the two teams will represent Derry City and Pennyburn Credit Union at Regional Level.

Lumen Christi College were well represented at the championships in Thornhill college this year. Each pupil that took part are to be congratulated for running in such cold conditions with a snowy underfoot.

The success on the day was phenomenal with 25 pupils in total qualifying for the Ulster school’s championships. Our minor boys team won their team race (Mark Chester, Eoin Canavan, Euan Bonner, Odhran Campbell); minor girls 2nd (Clara Mulan, Roisin Watson, Rosie Byrne, Cara McCauley, Amy Lundy); junior boys 2nd (Oisin Duffy, Flionn McLaughlin, Michael Houston, Paul Downey); intermediate girls 2nd (Aela Stewart, Oonagh Payne, Anya Hockley, Emily Neill); seniors girls 3rd (Eimer Stewart, Connie O,Brien, Caoimhe Walsh) and senior boys 3rd (Patrick McCarry, Pol Og Mccafferty). A total of 24 medals for pupils.

The highlights of the day were in the minor and junior boy’s races, with Mark Chester picking up a bronze medal, Flionn McLaughlin a silver medal and Oisin Duffy crowned District champion for the 3rd consecutive year. Also in the minor girl’s race, Clara Mullan was second overall. Aoife Neill also came a convincing 4th place in the Junior girl’s race.

Four individual medal’s and six team medals for the school is a superb achievement. Well done to all athletes.
