Katie Moore ran in Cardiff in the Celtic Challenge as a member of the Ulster team in the McCains’ Cross Country Challenge, the second of the Series races in as many weeks. With Wales a well‑publicised victim of the big freeze and UK transport severely affected, the first Challenge was simply getting there and competing on the snow-covered Bute Park. Katie would actually have been eligible for the U17 team under McCain conditions but competed in the U20 girls team over 4900m. The team ran very well as did all the Ulster teams. Their results were Sara Moore 17th in 21:02 min: Yasmin Wilson 20th in 21:20: Katie Moore 26th in 22:11 and Emer Magee 30th in 23:18.
The result if any of the Celtic Challenge is a bit problematical, there being no Scotland, Ireland or official Wales team in the U20 womens race. Of the competing teams, the Uster girls were 2nd to the Cardiff AAC team.
