Xmas Kennedy Cup Report
John Fisher School
Cross-Country Report Christmas Term 2019
What is Cross country? Running right? It’s a bit more than
that
You run in all weathers, rain, ice, snow, across a route with
grassy fields, mud, forests, uneven paths and hills that go on forever, and
sometimes a river to cross, and sometimes all of those things in the same race.
The distances vary from 2 miles for juniors up to 6 miles for
Seniors. You run as an individual, against the clock and against your fellow
runners, but you also run as a team where every place counts so there is no
chance to slack off.
You need to be mentally as well as physically strong. There
is no half time, no substitutions, no breaks. You just need to keep going.
It is extremely tough but extremely rewarding – and another
busy and enjoyable term of competition sees John Fisher retaining its
reputation locally and nationally.
One key reason for this is a hugely talented and dedicated
Year 7 intake who have made our Junior squad very strong, most of whom have
also played rugby for the school but run whenever they could. The Junior Team
have won the Relays at Oxted twice and at John Fisher, as well as finishing in
First Place at the Sutton Borough Championships.
The Highlight was the Junior Knole, the biggest race in the
country for Juniors, where 8th place was secured out of 50+ teams.
An incredible performance on a cold and wet day over an extremely challenging course
and the best the school has seen in ten years.
Chris Finch and Oliver Anstee have impressed from Year 8 –
Chris finishing 24th out of 309 runners at the Junior Knole, and
from Year 7 Adam Reeves, Daniel Finch, Oliie Rayner, Lucion Gillian and Ollie
Hession have ran really well, but several others have also impressed. Adam
Reeves finished 28th at the Junior Knole, an incredible achievement
considering he is still Year 7.
The Inters have performed well in League fixtures, with the
Year 8 & 9 team finishing 4th at the Sutton Boroughs. The
highlight was second place finish at Charterhouse. A number of this age group
have been running for the senior team, showing their huge potential. Consistently
impressive were Ebuka and Chizoba, Paul Hewitt and Jack Hession while Emmanuel
Victor has carried the flag for Year 9.
The Seniors have had depleted numbers and so have relied on
younger runners a lot this season. Robbie Tambling, Harry Smith and Malachi
Messette have been consistent from the 6th Form, and Freddy Georgiou
and Joe Roberts from Year 11 have been committed throughout. The competition
has been tough and the standard high in all the fixtures, but the age of the
squad will stand us in good stead in the future. The Year 10/11 and 6th
Form teams both finished 2nd at the Sutton Boroughs
The Overall highlight was winning the Sutton Borough Cross
Country Championships for the first time in 5 years. All the students from all
the age groups who ran deserve credit as they all played their part, and a
narrow victory by 4 points was just reward for a sport that is truly ‘whole-school’
Parlauf at Hampton
Two JFS teams set off for Hampton school for the highly different and enjoyable Parlauf
Running in teams of three, this flexible relay over the 1.8 mile course for 24 minutes is basically shuttle runs and not at all the usual XC scene
Both the Senior and Inter team ran really well against stiff opposition
The Seniors finishing 6th, and the Inters 5th

Judge Cup Muddy Trail
It was a very muddy course and cold day that greeted the JFS XC team at the Tiffin Judge Cup last Wednesday.
With a high-powered field to run against, coupled with the terrain, it would be a difficult proposition.
Unfortunately the B Team had a dropout so would not finish in a position, but all agreed to go anyway and run
The format is a 6 man relay over the 1.4 mile course, with Leg 1 being Year 7, Leg 2 being Year 8 until the last legs run by Seniors.
JFS fielded a number of Year 7s out of position, in effect running above their age range so massive credit to them
The results, in a very strong field were very encouraging indeed!
Particular congrats to Chizob Nkamuo for his time!

Fantastic Junior Knole Performance!
The Junior Team travelled to Knole Park in Sevenoaks, for the annual Junior Knole Run. This is the biggest national race for Juniors, with participating schools from across the country.
The conditions were horrendous, rain and cold, plus a very muddy course. With competition so high the 12 plucky Year 7 & 8 runners set off with gusto.
The results were fantastic!
Well done to Chris Finch for improving his 2019 position by 20 places, amazing run by year 7 Adam Reeves to finish 28th out of 300+ is great. Well done to Oliver Anstee who had his best run for the school and Daniel Finch proved the running genes run strong by completing the A team.
Everyone ran brilliantly, and special mention to Ollie Rayner who took a full length fall at the start, and to Aidan Orpin who ran the course in trainers
Honestly this was an outstanding performance by all concerned!

Home Match Win!
Tiffin travelled to Plough Lane on Saturday 9th November for a Home League Race and JFS duly won the mob race and the Junior race.
With a smaller team than usual, it was great to see the runners come higher in the positions and deservedly gain some of the limelight - well done to all who ran!

Haskell Cup stiff challenge once more
The Senior Suad travelled to Guildford for the Haskell Relay, a tough 1.7m leg four man relay through woodland and across sodden field
With a mixture of ages, and some strong competition, this was always going to be a tough proposition, but an enjoyable challenge for all.
Results below

BOROUGH CHAMPIONS!
Having come so close in recent years, and 2nd last year after a points count back, John Fisher were finally able to put the consistent performance together across all age groups to win the Sutton Borough Cross-Country Championships
The 1 mile course was, as usual, brilliantly marked at Sutton Grammar, and a good XC course with flat, wooded areas and a small hill to contend with. Perfect running weather meant we were up for the start.
JFS had come fully prepared, with Miss Tomes and Francis as usual, alongside Mr O'Hallaran and Mr Street in support!
The First Years ran brilliantly to tie in 1st Place
4th Adam Reeves
6th Daniel Finch
10th Ollie Hession
25th Lucion Gillian
30th Charlie Bond
48th Roberto Holmes
50th Archie McCabe
54th Aidan O'Sulivan
55th Aidan Orpin
62nd Daniel Borici
68th Ollie Rayner - Injured at the end at had to walk in at the back
points are then counted
