Emma McCarthy and Chloe Reck competed at the same venue in the Leinster Cross Country juvenile championships with both competing in the under-11 category. Chloe found the going tough but gave it her all, while Emma placed fifth and was the first girl home for the Wexford team which also claimed the gold medals.
