Sevenoaks Athletic Club member Eliza Nicholson became the Kent U17 Womens 3,000m champion with a fine race at Dartford on the evening of Wednesday 29th June.
In a hard fought race with Abigail Royden from Medway and Maidstone AC she moved away with three laps to go winning in a time of 10 mins 31sec. In early July, Eliza will be competing in the English Schools Championships in Manchester, again at 3,000m. She will be joined by Sevenoaks AC’s James Beecroft who will be competing in the 100m, an event he is currently ranked the fastest in the country for his age.
Head Coach Darrell Smith said: “I’m hopeful both athletes will have a successful Championships as they are both in good form.”
