On behalf of the SKAAC Committee we congratulate long time club member Ned O’Brien on being announced as 2017 Cross Country Captain at St. Kevin’s College. Ned has been a mainstay of our club for many years having started with us during his time at Glendalough in season 2011/2012.
Ned has been a trailblazer in so many ways being the first SKC primary student to join the senior boys for training, and in doing so, re-defining the way that development of young SKC athletes takes place.
Ned has been a SKAAC Club Champion at both Under 13 & 14 level in 2011/2012 and again was duly awarded the Under 14 Track & Field Champion in 2012/2013.
The current SKC Cross Country Year 12’s are a special group with so many passionate not only about their running but also the famous green, gold & blue colours, that no-one would be at all surprised so see quite a few of the current surnames representing SKAAC for many years to come.
Ned, all the best for the remaining APS Cross Country season. You are a fantastic member of our club and long may you continue to be.
