Although not a common, traditional “sport", Competitive Irish Dancing for boys and girls, is a serious, athletic and tightly regulated activity throughout the world. This weekend the North American Championships are being held in Montreal, Quebec; where a Rockford high school senior, Liam McCormack (Keith Country Day School) will be competing. During St. Patrick's Day activities, he was very popular performing at the Clock Tower celebratory event.
Good luck Liam in Montreal!
