Dunne Memorial Academy had a strong showing at a recent Newfoundland and Labrador Athletics Association (NLAA) X-Country Series held in Bowring Park earlier this month. Four young athletes from the St. Mary’s Bay school participated in the event — from left to right are Noah Ban De Bulk (who placed 6th in the Grade 7 boys 1900m run with a time of 8 minutes), Dalton Corcoran (who ran the Grade 5 boys 1400m run with a time of 8:10 minutes), Kellan Tobin (who placed 1st in the Grade 5 boys 1400m run with a time of 5:23), and Connor Corcoran (who ran the Grade 5 boys 1400m run with a time of 8:12). Kellan Tobin also placed first in his event last year at the NLAA X-Country Series, and recently placed first in the Carbonear Harvest Run in his age category. Coach Karen Hearn, who has coached cross country at the school for some years now, said she is proud of each participant, and every student is a winner when they choose to participate.
