Kent Young Athletes League, 5 July, Gillingham. Our U13/U15s repeated their team performance from the second match with a 3rd place team finish, further establishing their position and pulling further away from 4th-placed Folkestone, writes head coach Darrell Smith. With the final match on 16 August, the team looks to be in a strong position to hold onto 3rd but not quite within reach, this year, of making the top two and gaining promotion.
In the U13 girls there were wins for Autumn Harden in high jump (1.20) and Georgina Davidson-Nwosu in the shot (6.91), discus (23.03) and javelin (18.89). In the U13 boys Teddy Grobel won the hurdles in a very fast 13.1. Charlie Bayliss won the shot in 7.48. In the U15 girls Olwyn Mtungwazi won the long jump in 4.92 and Imogen Mace won the discus (21.48) and javelin (29.02).
Ten Sevenoaks AC athletes competed for their schools at the All Kent Championships at Gillingham on 14 June. Imogen Mace (javelin) and Liv Mtungwazi (200m) won their events and were selected to represent Kent at English Schools in Birmingham. U13s Georgina Davidson-Nwosu (discus) and Cora Old (800m) also represented Kent at an inter-county match.
At English Schools, Liv Mtungwazi finished 9th in the U16 girls 200m final, her first national final. Imogen placed 10th in the U14 girls javelin, also a first national final.
