Nico Kent Cross Country selection

Mr Parker, Director of Sport

24th February 2022

A huge congratulations to Nico (8C) for his selection for Kent in Cross-Country! Nico took part in the Kent schools qualifying cross-country event at the Hop Farm on 22nd January. It was a tough race where he saw runners from schools and running clubs all over the county competing for spots at various age groups. Nico finished 35th on the day, battling through injury at the start point but finished 9th fastest for his age group, meaning he qualified for Kent's U13 squad. Nico will be given his Kent running top before his next race, which is coming up in the next couple of weeks where he will compete against top runners in other counties.

A big well done to Nico on this amazing achievement. The whole Solefield community is proud of you, and we are looking forward to hearing how you get on at the next race!
