John Witton was 20th and fifth M40 and Lionel Stielow was fifth M70 as just six Sevenoaks AC runners completed the Larkfield 10k in hot sunny conditions on Sunday 15th September.
The race was the Kent short-course road championship and there was a big turnout from the leading clubs. It was also the penultimate race of the Kent GP series with just the Maidstone Half to go (on 13th October).
This result comes two weeks after Heather was third woman, fourteenth overall and second W45 in the Rye Ancient Trails 15k, where Hugh Brennan won the accompanying 30k race with Marion van Lille third in the women's race and Jake Fricker, Nick and Anna Taylor and Russell Crane also well placed.
Some great performances this weekend at the Kent U13 Champs at Erith (Sept 14th-15th), writes Darrell Smith.

On the Sunday Maisy Aherne progressed to the Semi Final of the 75m running 11.04 in her heat and placing 8th in the Semi Final. In the High Jump Hannah Galligan jumped 1.30cm to place 5th in the Final.
These results are the best by the Club and mark the end of a great season.
Heather Fitzmaurice was third and first W45 at the Eridge 10 on 1st September.
While the race preferences of Sevenoaks AC runners were split between this race and the Weald 10k, the lure of beer and cake afterwards was the determining factor for some of our athletes.
John Witton led the fourteen SAC runners home in a brilliant 10th place, closely followed by Ed Saunders in 15th and Andrew Hutchinson in 16th.
