KFL Avery Hill 29 Dec

Dan leads

Another fine performance from Sevenoaks AC - coming 2nd on the day and retaining 2nd place in the series.

32 runners from Sevenoaks AC contested the Avery Hill Race - the fourth in the Kent Fitness League series of 7 winter cross country races.

In beautiful sunshine the 417 competitors completed the 5 mile course, comprising 2 ½ laps of the muddy playing fields and woodlands at Avery Hill near Eltham.

The race was won by Chris Wyles of new Eltham in a fast time of 28.51, but great runs by brothers Alan and David Lee from Sevenoaks saw them both in the top 10.

Alan contests lead

Alan, recently recovered from injury finished in 2nd place just 15 seconds behind the winner, recording a time of 29.06, and, with a tremendous sprint finish, David came 8th in 30.38

With Sam Begg in 19th, Mike Fanning in 23rd, Andrew Mead in 36th, Ben Bridges in 39th and John Stevens our over-50 scorer in 80th, the SAC men’s team gained second place behind a very strong Dartford Harriers team.

First four men

The womens’ team came 4th with excellent performances from Cath Linney (8th), Heather Fitzmaurice (10th) and Judy Howells (28th).  

After 4 races the Sevenoaks AC team remains in 2nd place – the men 2nd and the women 3rd.
