Sevenoaks enjoyed their most recent fixture against Forest School, providing opportunities for many of those who hadn’t yet represented the school. this term. There has been a fantastic uptake this term and it was a real highlight to see so many gain a competitive experience for their hard work in training.
There were some brilliant performances at the Kent county championships:
- Harriet Medlen – Finished third in the U17 100m final with a time of 12.56s and managed to go one further in the 200m, picking up second in the final with a time of 25.39s. With two medals and PBs for Harriet and things look bright given she competed a year young.
