Cork City Sports Athlete of the Month - December 2016 - Award Citation

Vicki Cusack (Davis College, Mallow and Liscarroll AC) is the Cork City Sports Athlete of the Month for December. In December, at the Athlone IT indoor track, Vicki was a member of the Irish Intermediate Girls Schools Team that finished second at the Home International Combined Events competition.  Vicki earned her place on the team by finishing 3rd in the Irish Championships the previous month.

This afternoon, Thursday January 26th, 2017, Vicki Cusack of Davis College was the recipient of the Cork City Sports Athlete of the Month for December. Coached by her father, Joe Cusack, Vicki has been a member of the Irish Girls Schools Team for the past four years, winning Team Gold, two Silver and Bronze in the process.  The most satisfying of those was the Gold medal win, when England were beaten for the first time in approx. 20 years.  This year, the event was held in the Athlone Indoor Arena, while, up to then, it had traditionally been held in Scotland.

Vicki said that she loved performing on home soil, in Athlone, as she felt competing in front of the Irish audience helped boost her performance. Vicki was accompanied by her parents Joe and Annette, sister Jodie, and Liscarroll AC's Tim and Esther Fitzpatrick.
