Information

Match Report

Southern Intercounties U15/U17, 14^th September, Horspath, Oxford

Conditions were initially good but deteriorated as the Meet went on with Pole Vault cancelled due to bad Weather.

Some great individual performances transferred into a successful day for Kent, including a National Record for Kendrick Onolememen in the Discus with a Throw of 58m 66cm. Across both age groups, Kent finished 5^th (just 1.5pts) behind 3^rd, confirming our position as one of the strongest Counties in the South.

Our U15s Boys were 4^th and Girls were 3^rd. Although, it’s not scored we can say the U15s were 3^rd if you put all the scores together.

In the U17s our Women were 7^th and our Men were 4^th. Comppiling all these results across both age Groups the U17s were 7^th.

There were wins for Alessia Scala in the High Jump, Amiyah Spencer in the 100m, Elijah Olaleye in the 400m H (Championship Record), Ella Brooker in the Pole Vault, Isabelle Rider in the Discus, Jericho Senior in the 300m, Kendrick Onolememen in the Shot and Discus (National Record), Tilly Ryan in the Hammer, Victor Redman in the 100m and William Connop in the Javelin.

Well done to all Athletes, Coaches and Parents involved.

UK Intercounties Cross Country, Wollaton Park, Nottingham, Sat 8 March 2025

A great day for Cross Country but quite warm and difficult for some.

U20M 8^th (13^th,32^nd,39^th,84^th,85^th, 97^th. 98^th)
A good performance by this Team. A top 6 Team placing looked possible but a mixture of lack of racing and some down on their National performances meant we slipped to 8^th. Great run by Franklin who came in 13^th in his best run of the Season.

U13G 8^th (6^th,23^rd,54^th,84^th,139^th,172^nd,208^th)
Eighth Team, an improvement on 16^th Team from last year the, led home by Tyla Jade Thomas in a superb 6th. Going into the Race a Team Medal looked possible but withdrawals and some not having their best runs meant we just fell short. This group has a lot of talent and Team spirit.

Senior Women 9^th (22^nd ,45^th,57^th,103^rd,127^th,148^th 162^nd)
This Team really suffered in terms of loss of runners leading up to the Race which meant a chance of Team Medals was lost. Despite that, the Senior Woman’s Team still managed a 9^th place. Special mention to Hannah Clark finishing 22^nd in her first Senior Intercounties.

U15 Boys 18^th (45^th,74^th,103^rd,129^th 131^st, 181^st,253^rd)
Not the Boys day as many didn’t have their best Races and again withdrawals hurt us. Special mention however for Samuel Watson who made the scoring Team after coming in as a Reserve

U17W 18^th(21^st,84^th,158^th,168^th,181^st,188^th,193^rd 194^th )
On a different day this Team could have got top in the top 10 but it was not to be. Special mention for Holly Diprose who led the Team home in 21^st and Zoe Vallis for coming in as a Reserve and scoring for the Team.

U17M 7^th (17^th,19^th,68^th 74^th 92^nd 96^th 118^th 171^st)
This Team looked like a potential medal winning Team but the loss of Joe Scanes, Hayden Kelk and Conner Prendergast had its effect. However, a good effort by the whole Team with top 20 placings for Toby Bawtree and Jed Starvis meant the Team still managed a 7^th place

U13B 2^nd(14^th,20^th ,32^nd 37^th 73^rd 118^th 134^th 174^th )
What an effect no drop outs has! Everyone turned up in more ways than one with 4 in 37! Special mention for Harry Beeraje who secured 4^th spot for the Team with a tremendous run. A superb 2^nd place Team missing the Title by just one point.

U20W 1^st (14^th,22^nd,18^th,29^th,40^th,52^nd,61^st 105^th)
If I’d looked closely at the National results a week before then it would have been clear something special could be happening. An so it proved, with Lily Crossley holding a top 15 place early, Lola Sutton and Liberty Whyte not far behind and importantly Carys Firth working her way through the field. With a kilometre to go we had 4 in 30 with all Women fighting hard in a great show of Team work. Backing them up we had Amelia Lawrence in the early 40s. If fact everyone had a good Race. Runners up in 2024 they moved up to take the title in 2025.

U15G 23^rd(9^th,103^rd,132^nd,141^st ,153^rd,156^th, 170^th 197^th )
Our U15Gs didn’t have their best day and 23^rd Team doesn’t reflect their abilities There was of course a great individual run by Sophie Richmond placing 9^th.

Senior Men 7^th(2^nd ,43^rd ,44^th ,51^st 65^th ,179^th )
The final Race of the day saw us look to James Kingston to try and continue his successful Season, already placing 2^nd at both Southern and National. The Race soon became a battle with rival Brett Rushman who just managed to get a gap as they approached the final hill. The Team placed a respectable 7^th but at full strength the Team capable of Team Medals.

Overview

Taken as a whole, Team results were down on previous years. Taking all the Teams together we averaged 10^th compared to 9^th last year and 6^th in 2022 and 2023

Highlights were of course the U20W’s Team who came out winners with an impressive level of packing of 4 in 29. And we were close to winning the U13B as well, beaten into 2^nd Team by one point.

Individually we had 3 top 10 placings. Tyla Jade Thomas 6^th in the U13G,Sophie Richmond 9^th in the U15G and James Kingston 2^nd in the Senior Men’s. We had 10 runners in the top 20.

While the Race remains right in the middle of a busy end to the Domestic Cross Country and Indoor Season, attendance will always be compromised I’m sure it’s the same for all counties but 28% of Athletes named in Feb ended up withdrawing from the Team which seems high even if you factor in injuries.

Our U17M, Senior Men and Senior Women Teams were particularly badly affected.

A big thanks to all the Selectors (Stella Bandu, Steve Starvis, Steve Fury, Anoushka Johnston and Mark Hookway) and Officials especially Brian Charlton for their time and efforts and to Coaches and Parents for helping to get Athletes to the line.

Lets Go Kent

Darrell Smith
Team Manager

Under 17 & Under 15 Southern Intercounties T&F, Horspath Oxford, Sun 8 September 2024

With many of our sprinters and middle distance runners competing on the same day at the Kent Relays we definitely gave away points, so a 4^th overall Team position across all 4 age groups was a good result.

In the U15Gs there were wins for Ella Brooker in the Pole Vault and Alessia Scala in the High Jump with the Team 3^rd overall.

In the U15Bs the Team placed second Team with wins for Kierath Dhillon in the Shot, Toby Gwinnell in the Javelin and Kai Rogan in the Sprint Hurdles.

The U17W were 4^th Team with wins for Isabella Amartey in the Long Jump and Lily Gayle in the Sprint Hurdles and a double win for Emily Cadman in the 100m and 200m.

Fifth overall, the most wins came in the U17M with wins for Elijah Olaleye in the 400m Hurdles and Theo Ronchetti in the 400m. And double wins for Michael Bridge in the Shot and Discus.

Well done to all Athletes, Coaches and Parents involved.

2024 Kent Teams - UK Intercounties XC, Nottingham 9th March

A great day for Cross Country with warm Weather and the course quite dry despite the warnings from organisers about Parking

U20M
Some significant dropouts left this Team not at full strength but those that did compete, did so admirably. The Team finished 14th.

U13G
Although the Team was at full strength it just wasn’t the Girls’ day with the Team finishing 16^th. However, with 3 of the Team still U13s next Year Im hopeful our U13s do well next year

Senior Women
Last year I lamented that the Senior Women’s Team always had potential but for the last two years we had never been able to get them on the line together.

This year we managed (well almost) to do exactly that and were rewarded with a 3^rd place Team finish. Pheobe Barker was 8^th, closely followed home by Holly Dixon in 11^th then Naomi Kingston 24^th, Chloe Sharp 35^th, Morgan Squibb 47^th and Zoe White 83^rd to complete the Team. Can we do even better in 2025?

U15 Boys
Last year Joseph Scanes ran despite being ill, still managing to finish in 27^th place. This Year at full strength he followed the early race pace but then took the lead and never looked back, leading his Team to a 4^th place finish, one better than last year. Joseph Hill ran a great race to finish 6^th along with Peter Fitzmaurice in 49^th and Sebastian Sanz-Kozyra in 68^th.

U17W
Last year the U17W were 5^th Team and could have been looking at a top 5 placing again but with Eliza Nicholson running in the Kent U20W Team to try for World Cross selection and with the loss of Amber Mathews it was always going to hard to match last year, However, all the Team ran well with Lauren Mitchell leading the Team home in 35^th.

U17M
Great packing by this Team to take 3^rd place Team. Franklin Shepherd 22^nd, Noah Paterson 25^th, Harrison Fraser 29^th and Alexander Middleton 44^th

U13B
In a similar way to the U13G, it wasn’t the boys day finishing 18^th Team but there were still great individual performances with Samuel Watson Leading the team home in 51^st

U20W
The U17Ws loss was the U20Ws gain as Eliza Nicholson joined the U20s. With Eliza Nicholson was 2^nd gaining GB selection for the World Cross Country, Hannah Clark was next home for Kent in 15^th improving on her 28^th last year. Amy Goodhand in 36^th and Ella Webb 41^st ensured a 2^nd place Team finish, a major improvement on last year’s 8^th

U15G
Injury on the day and illness put paid to what looked like a potential top 6 performance for the Team. Sophie Richmond led the Team home in 27^th, Ava Chappell 49^th, Aoife McDonagh 7^th and Rose Crossley 167^th for a 15^th Team pleasing. However, the first three home are all still U15s next year so there is potential to do

Senior Men

The loss of Cameron Chambers, Matthew Dubery and Marcus Etheridge was a blow and if you think about who the Kent Team could contain then you are talking about a winning Team but I’m sure many other counties would make a similar claim.

At the front end of the Race James Kingston was tracking the leaders in a small group which only began to break up in the last kilometre. Running a well-judged Race James Kingston was 4^th with Ben Cole, also running well this Season, in 17^th. Wegahta Zerom 45^th Mathew Taylor 59^th Robert Sesemann 69^th and Mathew Speed 123^rd completed the Team for a 5^th Place Team finish, one spot ahead of last year.

Overview

There is always room for improvement, but I feel we had a better Champs than last year and probably on a par with 2022

Highlights were the performance of the Senior Women’s, the win by Joseph Scanes in the U15B, the selection of Eliza Nicholson for the World Cross Country as an U17W and the run by James Kingston to place 4^th in the Senior Men’s Race.

A big that’s to all the Selectors and Officials for their time and efforts and to Coaches and Parents for helping to get Athletes to the line.

Darrell Smith

National CAU Intercounties Cross Country, Loughborough, Sat 11 March 2023

A relatively warm day, conditions underfoot were challenging in spots and long spikes were a necessity, especially the right hander half round the larger lap.

U20M
The day couldn’t have started better with a great performance from the U20M team who repeated their win from last year. Louis (6th) and Jack Small (11th) were the first two home and great runs from Jamie Keir (14th) and Mathew Dubery (19th) who came charging through in the last kilometre.

U13G
Next were our U13G’s Team. Good performances all round with Sophie Richmond (17th) leading the Team home with Aoife McDonagh 20th, Ava Chappell 37th and Isla Murray 69th . The Team ended up 6th just one place down from 5th last year.

Senior Women
The third race of the day was our Senior Women. Of all the Teams this Team suffered most in Terms of dropouts and as a result we did not have enough runners to make up a Team. Annabel Carter was 70th, Morgan Squibb in her first Senior Intercounties was 82nd and Harriet Wooley was 137th On paper the Kent Senior Women’s Team always looks strong but the last two years we have never been able to get them on the line together. 2024?

U15 Boys
The U15B team wasn’t at maximum strength with a couple of Athletes not able to compete and Joseph Scanes, who did run, recovering from illness. Despite this, the Team were still able to place 5th Team. With a fair wind this Team would have had real medal chances. Olly Buck who had a great run in 20th was backed up by Joseph Scanes 27th (who would go on to win the English Schools a week later), Joseph Hill and Jed Starvis came in together in 55th and 56th place to make the scoring 4.

U17W
The loss of Annabelle Souter was a big one for the U17W team where a top 3 Team placing had looked likely. A great run from Eliza Nicholson (6th), Carys Firth (24th) ably supported by Abigail Royden (40th) and Liberty Whyte (77th) put the Team 5th. A big improvement on 13th from last year.

U17M
Last year’s 3rd Team placing looked repeatable and a fit Hayden Gear would have likely helped achieve that goal. However, that’s not to take away from great runs by Jake Stevens (4th) and Noah Paterson in 18th, Tom Claridge (29th ) who has made massive improvement and Harrison Fraser (61st). They still were 5th ,and on another day could have nicked 3rd again. Special mention for Adam Whitlock who lost a shoe early on by fought on to finish 111th .

U13B
A great run by Freddie Gibson (15th) but not such a great day for the rest. Many struggling to match their performances at the National. The Team finished 13th.

U20W
Hannah Clark led the Kent Team home in 28th with Ella Webb had a great run in 51st . They were backed up by Annabel Young in 58th Ella Ayden in 66th to place 8th Team. A solid performance.

U15G
Iris Crossley led the Team home in 35th, followed by Megan Barlow in 55th , Ella Baker in 70th and Isla Taylor just behind in 72nd to make the scoring Team. The Team placed 13th

Senior Men
The Men’s Team look capable of a Top 3 placing but illness, injury and clashes with other Races meant we didn’t field its very strongest Team. National XC Champion, James Kingston led the Team home in 7th with Alexander Howard 15th and Ben Cole 32nd. Special mention to Thomas Wright who came in as a Reserve but made the scoring Team with a 76th . Cameron Dockerill and Stuart Brown completed the Team in 80th and 121st to complete the scoring 6. The Team placed 6th .

Similar to the Southern Intercounties, quite a few dropping out leading up to the Race but Runners are always on the edge of nearly being ill or injured.

So, a tale of what might have been. Possibly performances suffer as the Race is just one week after the National and Runners may be tired. And for many younger Athletes the ESAA is the biggest Race of the year and that is only a week later.
