ESAA Cross Country Cup


On the 9th November the U13 Boys cross country team (Lewis Warren, Kieran Aubrey, Jules Ricard and Fergus Paten) participated in the English Schools Cross Country SE England regional final in Chichester, which also served as the National semi final.  This was the first time the Academy had reached this stage of the competition, which is a testament to all the extra hours of training the team has put in under the guidance of Ms Whitehad.

 

In horrendous conditions all students ran superbly with strong finishes across the board. Kieran Aubrey (11th), Fergus Paten(15th), Lewis Warren (16th) and Jules Ricard  (50th) placed the team a very respectable 5th. Though the team narrowly missed out on a top 3 finish to secure qualification to the National final they all should be extremely proud with their effort.
