Success at the Kent League Cross Country

The final round of the Kent league cross-country series for U13 – U20 Age Groups saw BBHAC secure their position as the leading junior club in the county, winning team titles in U13 boys, U13 girls, U15 girls and U17 boys.

Our U15B won the team race on the day but ended up second overall, just 1 point behind a strong Tonbridge squad and U17 girls finished third overall.

Strength in numbers has been key to our success, with over 20 athletes in both U15 squads, over a dozen in each U13 squad and 10 in each U17 squad. The club’s success is every individual athletes success.

Under 13s – On the day at Swanley Park, a great double win start for our U13’s with a 1st for Jazzy in the U13 girls race backed up well by Lucy J, Holly T and Zara. Tight packing from Arianne, Molly and Louisa. A strong debut run from Sophia J and a complete set from ever consistent Alice.

An impressive 1st for Zach, a superb 6th for Luc and 8th for George both a year young in their age groups. A fine 10th for Akul backed up by Fletcher and Haydn both completing the series.

Under 15s – Evie continues her great season placing a strong 4th with Harriet 7th and Alba 10th. Strong packing by Stella, Beth, Isabella, Lily D, Amelie and Chloe. Backed up further by Elliot, Leela, Nancie and Clemence. Johnny had another great race finishing a fine 3rd followed by Dexter in 10th and a welcome return to James B, placing high despite only just returning to running. Big improvements from Billy and Teddy backed up well by Juan, Jesse,  Benj, Luke, Matthew and Lewis.

Under 17s – A strong run from Niamh in 9th in the U17’s with ever present Rowan in 11th, Hannah C 14th and Lily B 16th. Joe comfortably won the boys race, backed up superbly by Alex M in 3rd and Aniket in 4th, Ben in 7th with Madalitso a great 11th.

Under 20s – Kyla completed her series with a fine 4th in the U20’s  with Mark and Harry batting out the men’s U20 race, placing third and fourth respectively. With the series complete, reward for racing all four was a place high up the leaderboard!

Johnny’s great season saw him win the silver trophy with Dexter in 7^th, Billy 11^th, Matthew 19^th, Jesse 20th and Lewis 25th.

Joe’s impression, complete sweep of 1st’s earned him the individual gold trophy and a fine bronze trophy for Alex M who is enjoying some well-earned consistency to his training and racing now. Madalitso’s consistency saw him finish a great 8th in the overall league table.. Mark and Harry finishing the season in 3rd and 4th overall. Rowan was our only ever present in the U17G and finished a high 6th overall

Huge congratulations to Kyla who won the gold trophy in the U20 women, rewarded for her consistent training and racing.
