Athletics Another tremendous term of athletics, with extraordinary achievements on the track. The athletics programme at Sevenoaks continues to grow. We now combine both male and female participation within games afternoons and after- school training, and this is already a huge success. The fixture list has also grown and all age groups have represented the school in a vast array of school meets and regional or national competitions. Although we pick out the most impressive performances of the season, we acknowledge the performances of all students. Athletes should be commended for their attitude and work rate, always showing a desire to continuously improve within 76 SPORT REVIEW their track and field disciplines. Through their hard work, almost all students were provided with the opportunity to represent the school within a fixture. From a performance perspective, school records that have stood for decades have been surpassed, leading to opportunities for our students to gain further representative honours. The pick of these has to be Georgia Baker (Year 9) who broke three long-standing school records (hurdles, high jump and long jump) and also achieved the honour of representing English Schools. Fin Croll (Year 11) also continues to shine on the track, taking the 1500m record across two age groups in consecutive years. Lucinda White (Year 9) also deserves a mention. Despite being frustrated by injury throughout the Summer term, she was still able to achieve a new PB in both pole vault and javelin, setting new school records in the process.
