On October 15th, 2024, KCS athletes competed at the Nenagh Olympic Indoor Stadium for the Munster Combined Schools Event. Our students participated in the pentathlon, showcasing their skills across various events including the 60m hurdles, shot put, and long jump.   

This event was a special milestone for our 1st-year students, marking their debut in secondary school athletics. Darragh Winters and Michaela Coholan delivered impressive results. Our junior athletes also performed exceptionally, with Year 2 student Zach Ridgway placing in the top 5 for shot put, and Ruairí O’Daltuin earning high marks in the Intermediate shot-put category.   

As we celebrate these achievements, we now set our sights on the upcoming cross-country (XC) season, kicking off with the Cork Schools Introductory XC in Riverstick this November, followed by the South-Munster XC Qualifiers at Tramore Valley Park in January.
