Sportshall Match 3 – 27th January 2019

In the last match of the sportshall season the team gave everything and were rewarded with a long list of top threes.

The U11 boys blue team had their best team result of the season, coming in second on the day. Ivan Chekmazov and Jack Pyke ran an outstanding Paarlauf winning by 1.4 seconds with 70.6sec. Ivan also came second in the vertical jump (47cm). James Fenner won the indoor javelin with 16.50m and came 3rd in the speed bounce (52). William won the target throw with a score of 12. In the red team Max Adams came just behind James in the speed bounce with a score of 51.

The U11 girls were up against very strong teams. Their best results came from Tillie Bell taking 5th in the Balance test with a near perfect score of 53 seconds and Millie Philips in the speed bounce with 50 jumps coming 7th. The majority of the girls were lower age U11 and so are looking forward to an excellent season next year.

In the older groups Aimee Dickson won the U13 girls speed bounce with 84 and in his last sportshall match for Team Kennet Harry Booker (U15 boys) once again won the Shot with 12.06m and came third in the triple jump.
Best of luck to all our athletes waiting to hear if they have made the Berkshire County team

SPORTSHALL 26^TH NOVEMBER 2018

Team Kennet took 23 athletes to the second sportshall league match on Sunday. This was the first match for the U11’s.

The U 11 boys blue team came 5^th on the day and our partial red team came 16^th. Our U11 girls team came 13^th. Most of these teams were first timers and lower age still learning the events but are showing great potential for the future. Our best results came Max Cassey, James Fenner and Ivan Chekmazov. Max in his first ever match won the triple Jump with 5.78m and also got 3^rd in chest push (6.5m).  James took 2^nd in High Stepper with 13.5 sec, 3^rd in chest push (6.5m) and 4^th in vertical jump (41). Ivan got 4^th in the 2 lap with 22.4sec. James and Ivan were joined by Joseph Hoaen and Enzo Morrison to come 4th in the 4×1 lap.

The U13 Girls are currently 5^th in the league and boys 9^th. The best result came from Aimee Dickson coming first in the balance test (60sec ) and 5^th in the vertical jump with 45cm. She was closely followed by Lyla Goodwin with 44cm in the vertical jump.

The U15 team of Harry Booker and Oliver Gregory continued their domination of sportshall in Berkshire by achieving top 3 in every event.  Harry won the Chest Push with 7.25m, came 2^nd in Standing triple jump with 7.39m and Hi Stepper (11.7s) and finally 3^rd in 4 lap, 43.8. Oliver came second in the 4 lap with 43.2s, and third in Standing triple jump (7.31), Hi Stepper (12.5) and Chest Push (6.5m).  A force to reckoned with!
