On Sunday morning East Down ACs Catherine O’Connor made the long trip to Davalos Park, Pescara Italy for the European Masters Cross Championships which was part of the European Masters Athletics Championship which is a week long competition. Catherine has been on top form in the past year, and was prepared for a tough 8k race against some tough opposition from across Europe. Catherine will be overjoyed with her performance coming in first in her age group, bringing home a gold medal back to Downpatrick. Great running from an Athlete who is improving week on week.
