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!

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

WELL DONE TO ALL THE SQUAD - A REAL TEAM EFFORT

Muddy Success at Lancing

MATCH AT LANCING COLLEGE vs Brighton Coll, Charterhouse, Harrow, Lancing, Ardingly, Sevenoaks

Well it was very muddy, pretty cold and somewhat wet but the JFS runners all overcame the odds on Saturday to run impressive times on what is a quintessential cross-country course.

The U16 course started in the very muddy field - see photo below, before a huge hill. This then leads to a rather enjoyable downhill sprint on paths and chalky tracks until a final uphill slog to the finish line. 

The results are below. Well done to Freddy, Peter, Malachi and Ebuka, our first 4 finishers and thus the A Team as they won the competition by just one place! Well done the Year 8s Ebuka, Matt and Jhon who all ran well together. Paul Hewitt improved his 2016 time massively, and for the first-timers there is something to beat next time.

The Senior course is a real challenge. A long distance with 3 hills and run on uneven tracks. Well done to all who ran, especially Ryan after his late night (and Mr Galvin). Harry showed some ominous form once again. The miles will stand them all in good stead for challenges to come!

CHARTERHOUSE SUCCESS!

What a fantastic team effort at Charterhouse last Saturday, well done to all runners.

The course is difficult with the famous hill towards the end, but is mostly forest and open grass. Conditions were chilly but not too cold, and the field was relatively small. Running in such glorious surroundings, in a school founded by Henry VIII is a great occasion for all.

The Junior team was Years 7-9 and thus was packed with talent, below are the results

JUNIORS (2.2 miles)

  1. Freddy Georgiou  14.39 (2016 - 15.36)

   4. Alfie Smith  15.00 (15.19)

JUNIOR TEAMS:    A team RUNNERS UP

              B team 4^th   C team 6^th  D team 8^th  E team 9^th   

Below are some photos of the Juniors, running or walking (most walk) up the famous hill!

Inters  (4.4 miles)

The Inters team was compact and determined, the course would be very tough, 2 laps meaning 4.4 miles and twice up the hill. Running with the Seniors also meant it was very hard to determine just how well you were doing.

Well it turns out they did very well WINNING the competition!

 4. Harry Smith  29.28

 7. Joe Logue  31.59  (2016 – 33.15)

 8. Peter Edwards  32.34

 9.  Malachi Messette  32.43

16. Ryan Arunachalam  51.32                        17 runners

Seniors 

Seniors  (4.4 miles

1.    Ricky Lutakome  24.44  (25.17) 

16. Ryan Galvin  30.25                                                                                                           

                                                        43 runners

The Seniors had just 2 runners, but still both ran superbly in what is their last run at Charterhouse. Ryan picked up an injury mid-way round the course, but Ricky finished with ease, 2 minutes ahead of second place. Domination is the only word. Well done to Ricky and Ryan

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!

WINNERS

                                                   

Parkrun Success

A big cross-country squad ran at the Roundshaw Parkrun on Saturday morning, getting vital miles in the legs and stamina overall for school events to come.

For the Year 7's this was their first outing representing the school, and what a strong tradition they have joined. Running 3 miles is a daunting proposition for those unused to that distance but all acquitted themselves well

The results are below, with the times ran for the 3.1 miles course. 2 runners competed at different Parkruns and their times are added below.

Pos	Name	Year	Time
1	Harry Smith	11	19.02

The JFS runners wait for the start

Well done to Harry for his win, despite a dodgy hamstring. Highlights were the PB's by Peter, Ebuka and Paul, and a great run by Jhon Hilario. Well done to Emmanuel for being the first Year 7 in, and congrats to all involved, 3 miles is not mean feat. There were 172 runners of all ages running.

Well done also to:

Gianluca Ercolano: Banstead Woods Parkrun  19.48, 11th
Jacob Jones: Lloyd Parkrun 19.28, 11th

WELL DONE TO ALL WHO RAN

HOME RACE NEXT SATURDAY!
