The sun continued to shine and helped to make the last
track meeting of 2015 a memorable one. Tonbridge school track is a great
setting anytime but the Kent track relay championships benefited further by
the glorious autumn sun that lasted all day.
In previous years this meeting has been poorly attended but large numbers
this year made for a great track finale and BBHAC had huge success winning
trophies, golds, silver and bronze medals, breaking club records, season
bests and the odd disqualification!
The U13 boys had an up and down day.
Up, winning gold in the 4x100 and silver in the 3x 800
and down being disqualified in the 4x300 for a marginally early lane break.
The quartet of Leo McCallum, Kyron Morgan, Archie Shipley and Tareq Bannour
ran a seasons best by half a second in winning gold in the 4x 100. The same
four were then whisked at very short notice into the 4x300, which they
comfortable won before harshly being disqualified for a lane encroachment!
Alex Sibley, Barnaby Corry and Sam Reardon had all competed in the southern
road relays yesterday running a tough 3k leg each but were still able to put
together another great team effort to take the Kent silver medals.
The sprinters and field event athletes now have the next 6 months to prepare
for the 2016 season whilst the middle distance athletes look forward to
competing in the winter in the busy cross country season that started last
week end and continues into March.
Well done to all the U13 Boys who have had a great track season and proved
themselves to be the best club in the country. I have thoroughly enjoyed the
season and seeing you all develop into great athletes and young men.
All the best

Kent Relays Tonbridge Sunday 20th September
What a fantastic day at the Under 13 Under 15 Kent
Relays with lots medals for both Girls and Boys Teams. The Under 15 Girls
started off the day with the 4 x 100m relay heats and such is the strength
and depth of the team we fielded 3 teams with the A and B teams getting to
the final. Next for the girls was the Under 13 Girls 4 x 100m relay this was
a straight final and we had two teams in it, the A team won silver and the B
team came fourth. It was then time for the Under 15 Girls 3 x 300m relay
heats and again we had two teams with them both qualifying for the final. We
then moved on to the 3 x 800m relay finals, we had two teams in the Under 13
girls and they both had great runs coming first and second, the two under 15
girls teams had great runs as well coming first and third.
It was then time for the Under 15 Girls 4 x 100m final
and with two teams in it we had a great chance both teams ran well with the
A team coming first and the B team a respectable fourth. The last event of
the day was the Under 15 girls 4 x 300m relay again having two teams in it
we had another great chance, the A team came first and the B team came
fifth.
The girls won 4 golds, 2 silvers and 1 bronze what a
fantastic achievement and a great way to round off a brilliant track
seasons. A big thank you to all athletes, parents, track judges and
spectators we couldn’t do it without you.

20 September 2015 - Kent County Relay Championships
- Tonbridge
As Paul has previously mentioned, Tonbridge School
track is a great setting for athletics and the U15 boys continued their
outstanding season with a series of "champagne moment" performances to wrap
the season up.
In the 4 x 100m both teams qualified for the final
after fantastic preparation work from Rose and Paul during the week. The
work on baton changes paid off as the A team surged round to finish with a
bronze medal whilst running over two seconds quicker than they had run this
season. Myles, Tom, Robert A and Jed ran two races where the UK Athletics
habit of dropped batons was not even on the cards to finish well. Well done
also to LJ, Rico, Philip and Caelan (all in their first year of U15) who
showed the potential they all have.
Fresh from setting a club record in the YDL final the
4 x 300m team were fired up to have another go. Despite weary legs from
their exertions the previous day both Coleman and Henry-James ran out of
their skins to support Tom (again!) and Ben S to storm home in a fantastic
time of 2:39.31. To win gold and to remain unbeaten over the event for the
whole season is an indication of the ability of the whole group of boys.
Supporting this group was a second team which included
two boys who hadn't run the distance before. Jed and Rico ran great legs and
got an introduction to "Captain Lactic" but showed their potential over the
distance. They were more than ably supported by Robert A and Robert S to
come home in bronze medal position.
The 3 x 800 was also an eagerly anticipated event.
There are not many clubs with the strength in depth that we have,
particularly this season. The challenge to the three teams was (1) to win at
least one medal, (2) to "adjust" the existing club record and (3) to see
just how fast they could run.
The response was immense. The lead team stormed off
into a strong lead and never looked like being caught. It all came down to
how much they had in their legs and how they would be able to run
effectively three time trials. The team of Coleman, Henry-James and Angus
literally ran away from the field to finish in an amazing 6:24, taking 11
seconds off the old club record and 10 seconds off the county record.
The second team of Robert S, Keir and Joseph also ran
well and were in contention for silver medals until just before the Medway
athlete squeezed past in the final metres to snatch a silver medal from
them, leaving the team in third place. To emphasise our strength we also had
a third team running. Cameron led the team off and was in medal contention
at the end of the first leg. Leo and Ben worked hard to hold on and ran well
to bring the team home in 4th place.
Well done to all of the boys who have competed in any
capacity over the course of the summer. The success that the club has
enjoyed is down to your hard work and commitment. I look forward to being
part of the team with you next season.
