REGIONAL FINAL BURGESS HILL 19TH
FEBRUARY 2022
After two years with no regional
competition due to Covid, athletes were finally able to compete again for
their county in Sportshall athletics. 37 athletes from across Kent travelled
to Burgess Hill on Saturday 19th February. With the U11 teams competing in
the morning, the U/13 and U/15 teams competed in the afternoon. Originally
the U11s and older athletes competed on different days, but with Sportshall
being unable to find a sponsor for the last few years, all age groups now
compete on the same day to save costs.
In
the U15 boys Joe Stone (Tonbridge AC) came equal first in the boy’s
all-rounder competition, which qualifies him for the UK final. Joe came 2nd
in the shot 12.98m, 3rd in the standing triple jump 8.32m and 3rd in the 4
lap race 59.9s. He ran the 8 lap paarlauf with Cameron Isaac (Medway &
Maidstone AC) the pair came 3rd. Cheyne West (Medway & Maidstone AC) won the
standing triple jump 8.66m, was 6th in the shot 10.08m and 6th in the 4lap
63.0s, Cheyne came 4th in the all- rounder event. Cheyne joined Jake Foster
(Medway & Maidstone AC), Daniel Shoyoye (Medway & Maidstone AC) and Aaron
Brown (Paddock Wood AC) in the 4x2 lap relay where the team came 4th. Aaron
also did the non–scoring standing Long Jump 2.50m. Jake did 70 speed
bounces, ran the 4 lap 63.2s and jumped 6.86m in the standing triple jump.
Cameron Isaac came 2nd in the speed bounce with 79, jumped 2.05m in the
standing long jump and ran the 2 lap 28.6s. Daniel Shoyoye jumped 2.29m in
the standing long jump, putt the shot 8.23m and ran the 2 lap 31.7s. Edward
Little (Maidstone & Maidstone AC) completed the team, he ran 29.8s in the 2
lap, Jumped 72 in the speed bounce and jumped 1.94m in the standing long
jump.
The U15 girls team won bronze medals,
with Isabella Amarty (Dartford Harriers) coming equal 3rd in the all-rounder
competition. Ella Thomas (Tonbridge AC) was 10th and Harriet Court (Paddock
Wood AC) and Grace Akindeji (Medway & Maidstone AC) equal 13th. Isabella was

(Folkestone RC) did speed bounce, vertical jump and 4 lap. One athlete did
not arrive so Harriet stepped in and did the 8 lap paarlauf relay with Ella.
The U13 girls finished 4th in their
match. One of the highlights of the day was in the U13 girls 4 lap race
Layla Forest (Invicta East Kent AC) who stepped in at the last minute due to
another athlete being injured. She ran the 4 lap heat and qualified for the
final, which she won by 2 hundredths of a second, she came 7th in her shot.
Dakota Wilson (Ashford AC) came 2nd in the speed bounce with 84 bounces and
ran the 4x1 lap and the obstacle relays. Lilly Rockall (Folkestone RC)
claimed second place in the standing Long jump 2.23m. Ismae Abomeli (Thanet

for Mia Pearson (Ashford AC) in the vertical jump with 55cm and Elsa Pawson
(Tonbridge AC) in the standing long jump 2.17m. The Obstacle race was run
twice due to an athlete slipping in the first run in which Kent were 3rd,
unfortunately in the rerun Kent ended up 5th. Lily Tempest (Tonbridge AC)
ran both the races and then had to go straight to her 2 lap race, which
affected her performance. Following a Kent team complaint, things will be
done differently in the future. Océane Argiver (Swale Combined) Abigail
Smith (Folkestone RC) Georgia Sweeting (Tonbridge AC) Freya Morton (Ashford
AC) Emily Wilcox (Tonbridge AC) made up the rest of the team.

4th in the standing Triple jump 6.52m. William Hirst (Paddock Wood AC),
Alfie Walsh (Swale Combined), Jamie Adams (Invicta East Kent AC) and Will
Bryant came 2nd in the obstacle relay. Thomas Webb and Nicolas Pedrazas

Bukunmi Edun (Medway & Maidstone AC) did the 2 lap, vertical jump and 4 x2
lap relay, Eliy Mathews (Folkestone RC) was 6th in the standing triple jump
6.44m and Will Horner (Tonbridge AC) did the standing long jump.
We would like to thank all parents and
officials who came on the day, especially with the torrential rain some
encountered on their way to Burges Hill, making travell extremely difficult.
It was good to see that all teams finished in the top 4. Looking back at the
records possibly a first for Kent.
