TEAMS DECIDED ON THE DAY

This is a 5-man relay, each leg is 1.5 miles

It will be a muddy course so wear spikes if you have them, otherwise trainers will be fine

Meet at the minibus at 11.00. Return after refreshments by 5.00

WEAR WARM CLOTHES

Sorry for the late notice but we have only just secured a second minibus

There is no rugby this weekend!

Juniors – opportunities have been rare this season due to several reasons, but this is the penultimate Saturday fixture of the season and it would be great to see you run

Mr Street will be coming with us – so it is really important we do our very best in front of the Head of Sport at JFS!

The course is a mixture of path and wooden track so short spikes would be an advantage

There is a hot meal afterwards and we will return around 6.40

Bring waterproofs, trainers and warm clothes

 

I need to know before Wednesday if you cannot run as I will need to find a replacement

 

Senior Park Run Success

The JFS senior squad took on the challenge of the Senior Knole Run on the 12th Jan knowing the punishing 5.8 mile course would dust away any Christmas cobwebs.


All were challenged to improve on last years times and there were some fantastic performances.


To finish as the 12th placed A team and the First State Comprehensive was a great achievement by all involved

29   G Ercolano   35.32  (2018 - 37.12)   

58   F Georgiou   37.16  (39.31)

93    J Jones  39.53  (39.38)

                    28 teams       245 runners

Well done to everyone for completing this very tough National Senior 6 mile race against the very best runners in the country. A fantastic effort by all of you.

Xmas Term Kennedy Cup Report

The cross-country season has seen encouraging performances from all age groups and some stand-out performances to be recognised.

For the Junior Team, opportunities have been restricted but 3^rd place at Charthouse was a great start and the Year 7 team won their age group at the Sutton Borough Championships – something we have not done in many years. The Junior Knole run saw the A Team finish in an notable 12^th place. Impressing hugely have been Chris Finch, Harrison Hayman and Oliver Anstee from year 7 whilst Zack Johnson-Alleyne and Emmanuel Victor continue to progress strongly in Year 8.

The Inters is a very strong age group, they won their race at Lancing College and came third at the Sutton Boroughs. Also Consistent in League fixtures the standout performers have been Ebuka, Paul Hewitt, Matt Conway, Alfie Smith and Joseph Roberts

The Seniors have continued to impress, competing against the very best in the country regularly and with runners regularly picked from younger age groups including as young as Year 8. Second place at Charterhouse was followed by once again winning the Sutton Boroughs, third at Hampton and a close second at Lancing. Ercolano, Jones and Tambling have been ever consistent, but praise must be given to Freddy Georgiou from year 10 who has proved himself the best Cross-Country runner in the school with his fantastic performances against runners 3 times older than him.

Well done to all the runners, those mentioned today and those regulars who were not. Next term will see more fixtures including the 2 National Senior Events and John Fisher will be aiming to sustain their outstanding reputation at that level.
