Athletics in James's Street CBS

By J. Devilly.

The boys of James's street have taken an active part in cross country, track
and field events for many years now. It is an excellent form of recreation and
the boys enjoy it a lot. Many of the boys are members of athletic clubs outside
the school and they always do well in their events. Others just love to take
part, especially in the team events. All the cross country events take place
during the winter months which often means that the conditions underfoot can
be muddy and wet. The track and field events take place from late April to
June and generally we get some beautiful sunny days. The cross country events
usually take place in the Phoenix Park while the all Ireland event can occur in
various parts of the country. The track and field events take place in the
Morton Stadium in Santry and the All Ireland in Tullamore.

We have had many successes in the past but some of the more notable ones
are:

Donal O'Sullivan Leinster & All Ireland cross country champion.

Anthony DohertyLeinster & All Ireland 800m champion at Junior and

Intermediate levels.

All Ireland cross country champion at junior and
intermediate level.
