Kent championships 10000m

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.
