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 3rd 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 12th 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.
