Charterhouse Fixture

This week’s race is a competition put on by Charterhouse – a famous and very old public school in Godalming. The postcode is GU7 2DX if your parents are taking you straight there. Use the entrance by the Lodge and keep going until you get to the big Gothic style building on your left where the start is. There is parking close by. Be there by 2.00 at the latest as your race starts at 2.30 and we need to declare you.  Please let us know if your parents are taking you there so that we can fill the minibuses.

Minibuses will be leaving from school at 12.00. We will be returning to school by about 5.45 after a hot meal and results presentation.

Please email me if you are going direct or there are any issues at dfell@suttonlea.org

Busy Half-Term Ahead

We have a very busy fixture list this coming half-term, so get ready to put the miles in, improve as a long-distance runner, and represent the school - as always - with determination, enjoyment and success

November

Sat 4	Charterhouse Cup. In the afternoon in a fantastic setting with the famous 'Chaterhouse Hill'. This is a great event at one of the country's oldest and best known private schools
Wed 8	Haskell Cup (snrs) Relay against tough opposition, medals were won 2 years ago, possible again?
Sat 11	Lancing (all ages pm) An amazing venue, nicknamed Hogwarts by former runners, with a course that is truly cross-country but a great meal afterwards
Wed 15	St Albans Relay (snrs) It's a long way to the race, but such a high quality field and a challenge for all - well worth the travel
Fri 17	Junior Knole Run (yrs 7/8) The biggest Junior Race in the country, and in effect the bench mark for runners at this age
Sat 18	Free
Sat 25	League relays at Oxted Can the 3 age groups win?
Wed 29	Judge Cup (7–13) At Tiffin school, one runner from each school year make up a team, an unusual but enjoyable format over a simple course that encourages quick times

December

Wed 6	Paarlauf at St Pauls School (snrs) Tactics are key in this format with teams of 3 runners able to regulate the distance they run over the course themselves
Sat 9	League races at Whitgift The short travel to our neighbours and the course, we dominated last year, can we repeat the feat?

Sutton Borough Championship Results

Well done to all the runners who ran for JFS at the Sutton Borough Championships.

The age group were divided into unusual age groups of a Year 7 group, Years 8&9, Years 10&11 and finally seniors. The course at Sutton Grammar’s Northey Avenue was appreciated by all with a mixture of field, shrub land and forest, and interesting course indeed. Whilst the weather was not great, it held off enough to ensure the footing was decent. With big fields in all age groups, with every secondary school in Sutton represented, the day would present a challenge for all

YEAR 7 Johnson-A 9^th   Dotting 12^th  Daniel 24^th  

              O’Sullivan 31^st   Kilama 43^rd  Victor 49^th                

              Casey 52^nd                           

                          

Well done to the Year 7 teams, who all ran with great determination. Zack once again showed his improvement finishing as the first JFS runner, but all ran really well!

YRS 8/9   Georgiou WON  Smith 2^nd Nkamuo 18^th    

                  Hilario 20^th   Roberts 21^st  Hancock 25^th        

                  Conway 39^th  Hewitt 40^th        

                         

 Well done to the 8/9 team, packed with great potential and so it showed with Freddy and Alfie finishing 1st and 2nd and both ending up clear of the chasing pack. Ebuka and Jhon showed their ability, with the whole team contributing very well.

                                                                                                      

YRS 10/11   Logue 6^th  Messette 18^th  Edwards 24^th

                      Lunn 31^st  Harvey 39^th  Amerasinghe 41^st   

                      Gerges 48^th  

                               

Huge thanks to Saul Harvey, who agreed to run at the last moment following Harry Smith's withdrawal, but well done to all of the runners, in particular Joe Logue - showing the benefit of miles in the legs and Malachi who continues to prove a great asset.

YEARS 12/13 Lutakome WON   R.Galvin 3^rd   

                          Jones 4^th  Ercolano 6^th Rodrigues 14^th

                          Brant 16^th  A.Galvin 18^th      

                 

 The Senior Team won in convincing style, as befitting a team packed with such running talent. Ricky won in style, with Ryan, Jacob and Gianluca all performing well. Antonio and Finley arrived in the nick of time, or indeed just afterwards, so well done for getting there! But well done to all!
