It has been an incredibly exciting few weeks for Athletics at Foxrock, with our athletes delivering outstanding performances and achieving fantastic success across multiple competitions.
Our team travelled to Clonmel to compete in the Loreto Athletics competition, where over 30 Foxrock athletes proudly represented the school in a wide range of events. The atmosphere throughout the day was electric, with our students showing tremendous determination, teamwork, and school spirit. Their hard work paid off as Foxrock brought home an impressive haul of medals, while every one of our relay teams secured qualification for their finals.
Competing against 15 schools, Foxrock achieved a superb 5th place overall — a brilliant accomplishment and a testament to the strength of athletics in the school.
The excitement continued at the East Leinster Championships, held over two action-packed days. Once again, our athletes rose to the occasion, delivering exceptional performances and earning even more medals. An incredible five Foxrock students qualified for the Leinster Finals — a huge achievement at such a competitive level.
A special congratulations goes to our standout performers:

Doireann O’Donoghue — 3rd place in the 800m and crowned East Leinster Champion in Javelin
Aoife Murphy — silver medals in both the 1500m and 3000m
Eva Kelly — silver medalist in the 800m
Lauryn Healy — Senior Girls’ High Jump Champion
Eva Munnelly — Senior Girls’ Long Jump Champion

These achievements reflect the incredible commitment, resilience, and talent of our athletes and coach Mr Murphy. We are immensely proud of everyone who competed and represented Foxrock with such passion and pride.
