Mountrath Community School athletes compete in both Cross Country and Track and Field events throughout the school year.
The Athletics team have experienced many success over the years, regularly placing in the medals as individuals and in the team events particularly at Laois Schools Level. A number of our athletes have then gone on to compete in competitions at South Leinster, Provincial and National level.
Students from 1st to 6th year are encouraged to compete and represent the school in the athletics areas of running, throwing and jumping.
The Laois Secondary Schools Track & Field event held annually in St Abban's A.C. Crettyard is a very enjoyable and successful day for our athletes.
