INTER ATHLETICS
One of our major events is the English Schools ’ Cup where participants compete in two events and each pupil ’ s time or distance correlates to points as a team . This year , we started at counties with some amazing throws , jumps and races , and managed to get most of our teams through to the next round . It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed being able to cheer on all my friends and gather for the relays at the end .
In June we had the regionals with inter girls winning , the juniors girls placing second and the inter boys placing third . It was quite hot , but assisted by slices of Mr Jarvis ’ s cake , we all did amazingly . Inter-level shot was one of the best events to watch , with Ella Christopherson and David Abobade throwing huge distances . There was also the Kent Schools Track and Field Championships – an individual competition for junior and inter competitors to qualify for the Kent team . There were fantastic performances from the 22 students who achieved the qualifying distances and times earlier in the season . The heat played its part on the track , but overall it was a superb display of athletics and great experience for those taking part .
Particular congratulations to the students listed on the right for their performance at the Kent Schools Track and Field .

I have found athletics at Sevenoaks really enjoyable . At my old school we didn ’ t really do athletics , but I immediately took to it . Sometimes it was difficult , but it was always fun , including learning all the different events , especially high jump and hurdles , which were completely new to me . I have been able to do lots of competitions this term ; I didn ’ t always do well , but the coaches were always really supportive . They have helped me to learn and improve my technique . I have done lots of running , as well as different field events . Overall , I have really enjoyed athletics and can ’ t wait to do it next year .
