217 Kick-Start New Series

The Declan Maher Financial Services sponsored Track-Attack Double-Trouble Series kickstarted in fine style when an impressive 217 participants battled against the cold elements to complete the various distances on the opening night.

The participants have been divided into groups which can be seen on the Track-Attack Facebook page. Points can be secured now by the level of improvement that participants show each week while your attendance rate will also gain you extra points.

For the past 4 years Ms Gorey has encouraged large numbers of Borrisoleigh students to enter BTYSE and encouraged, guided and mentored them through the whole process. This resulted in many successes at the competition over the years including first place in Senior Technology Category, Science foundation of Ireland award for John Ryan in 2017 as well as 5 other awards that year. Mary received her Educator of Excellence award in recognition of her efforts to encourage such widespread participation by the students in BTYSE.
