Tim Sutton scoops top vet honours
Tim Sutton finished top Vet 40 at the Weald of Kent 10-mile road race held on Sunday 22nd June. On a day when good times were hard to come by due to high winds, Tim ran 1:02.55.
Finishing some 40 seconds and one place ahead, in 7th place overall, was Nick Little who, following his impressive 10,000m track debut earlier in the week, now got the honours for being top Invicta runner on the day in 1:02.13.
Vicky Talbot-Rosner finished 2nd Vet 45 lady with a time of 1:16.02 with Janice Moorekite (1:21.55) rounding off the Invicta presence at the race.
Mark Wilkins takes county bronze!
Mark Wilkins ran a stunning 10000m debut race to take county bronze at the Kent champs 10000m held at Canterbury on June 18th.
Tagging fellow Invicta runner Chris Holmes with him, Mark pulled away at just past the 8k mark to be first Invicta runner home with a very swift 34:34.
Next Invicta home and winning the U20 catagory was Chris Holmes with 34:54 another impressive time considering Chris is returning from injury! Finishing 2nd in the U20 catagory was yet another Invicta youngster. Nick Little running his debut 10000m track race ran 35:49 which shows Invicta East Kent AC are in good hands in future years.
Lead vet home was Tim Sutton who ran 37:07, with the evergreen Peter Bowell running a solid 38:05.
In the Womens race, Vicky Talbot-Rosner put in one of her trademark gritty performances to gain county silver and finish with a time of 43:34.
A very successfull evening for Invicta East Kent ACs distance runners, and probably the strongest turn out and result for sometime in a major county distance running championship.
Young athlete gets special award -
Invicta athlete scoops award for contribution to athletics in Thanet
Club Chairman Derek Sackett presented a special award on Saturday to a very proud Molly Howson. Molly took part in the very first Thanet Primary Schools Cross-Country meeting in 2005 and has raced at every meeting since that time.
Molly was Year 4 Girls champion for Palm Bay in 2006 before moving to Preston where, as a guest, she was ineligible for the many medals that she should have won. Molly signed off in her last race before moving on to Canterbury High School with second place on the day and fully deserved her award for her Outstanding Contribution to Athletics in Thanet 2005-8 and the applause that greeted it.
