Every year, Gonzaga participates in the East Leinster Cross Country Championships.
We compete in four age categories (Minor, Junior, Inter and Senior). Should a team
or an individual be successful on the day they automatically qualify for the Leinster
Cross Country Championships which take place in DCU in February. A good result at
the Leinster Championships allows you to compete at All-Ireland level. In the past
we have enjoyed considerable success at the East Leinster Championships and a number
of athletes have placed very well at the Leinster Championships. This year the first
event, the East Leinster Championship, takes place on 26/01/12 in Avondale House,
Rathdrum, Co. Wicklow.
