A combination of holidays, other commitments and other races meant that only a small group of four SAC runners made the long trip to the rescheduled final race of the Kent Fitness League 2016/17 season at Fowlmead, Sholden near Deal.
Lee Lintern was our first finisher in 19th place, and was also our second best male runner in the series in 26th place, while Heather Fitzmaurice was our only woman on the day finishing ninth and our second woman in the standings in 12th. Heather was also fourth W45 on the day and in the standings. Jim Fitzmaurice also did well finishing third M70 on the day and second in the series.
Although the small turnout meant the combined SAC team were 13th on the day, with the men 14th and the women 15th, Sevenoaks retained their fourth position in the in the final League table, with both the men and women also fourth.
SAC also had some success in the final individual standings, with James Graham winning the M60 category and Cath Linney winning the W45s. Sally Shewell was third in the W55s to add to Jim Fitzmaurice's M70 silver. Cath was also our top woman overall, while Andrew Milne was our leading man.
