Athletics
Congratulations to the following teams who performed so well at the county round of the national cup:
- The inter and junior boys finished first and qualify for the regionals
- The junior girls finished first and qualify for the regionals
- The inter girls finished second and wait to find out about regionals.
Sevenoaks students also gave some excellent performances versus Tonbridge, Judd, Eastbourne and Christ’s Hospital last week.
Congratulations to Lucinda White; she won golds in both her events at the county athletics championships. She was 70cm clear of her closest competitor in pole vault, with a clearance of 2.80m, and 7m clear of her closest competitor in javelin, with a throw of 37.14m.
Both performances were above ESAA entry standard for the national championships, with her javelin performance comfortably above national standard.
