SENIORS IMPRESS AT KINGS TROPHY

The Senior Team traveled to picturesque Wimbledon Common last Wednesday for the annual, and much anticipated Kings Trophy, hosted by Kings College.

This 4.5 mile run through forest and field is a tough examination and it attracts the very best runners from the South East.

Here are the 12 intrepid runners.

What is particularly pleasing is that the normal senior team or Year 11 and 6th form students were joined by Gianluca Ercolano and Jacob Jones from Year 10 and Harry Smith from Year 9.

Here is Robert Spalding, XC Captain in his first outing of the year after injury inspiring the team with a last minute huddle

Unfortunately, XC talisman Ricky Lutakome was running well and placed in the top 5 runners when a confused course marshall sent him alongside the other top 10 runners the wrong way and so he finished 52nd, denied a top 5 finish! He has two more years though!

Around 150 runners competed, and we are waiting for the official finishing positions for each runner, but the A Team finished 5th overall which was an improvement of one place on 2014.

Most importantly every runner improved their time from 2104. Ryan Galvin finished 14th and was the first Fisher runner home, and special mention to Harry Smith who finished in 38th position!

The full results will be published when they arrive!
