Full results are on the Results 2017 page.
An incredible series of last day results saw Tonbridge convincingly win, at home, to finish the league on 16.5 points, as Norwich also won their match, to top the division on 17.0. Meanwhile,  Croydon and Stevenage were beaten in their last match to finish on 15.5 and 16.5 points, respectively. So with just two promotion places at stake it came down to Stevenage and Tonbridge for the runners-up spot in the league. A final count of match scores, across the five fixtures, resulted in Tonbridge scoring 1031.5 points and being beaten by just half a point by Stevenage.

Watford Open Meeting, Wednesday 26th July
Videos loaded !

In total 23 TAC distance runners were in action at Watford and every one of them wore a Tonbridge vest !
The conditions weren't the best, as they were quite cool and blustery. However, there were twelve personal bests, 2 season bests and a couple of race wins.

The evening started with a specially arranged Elite men's 3000 metres, where group of runners had been invited to compete. Robbie Farnham-Rose helped pace and produce a terrific race.

The aim of getting a group under eight minutes didn't quite materialise but there were a host of pbs. James West won a four way tussle down the home straight to record 8.00.66 (he has broken 8 before). Not far behind in fifth and sixth were Chris Olley (8.04.52) and Ryan Driscoll (8.04.86) both with pbs. It must have been the first time in TAC history that three runners have run inside 8.05 in one race (maybe two never have).

Then we came to the open 1500m races and there were pbs from Christian Lee (u20, 4.07.75), Simon Coppard (u17, 4.10.97), Toby Emm (u17, 4.13.97 and a race win), James Kingston (u17, 4.14.06), Charlie Crick (u17, 4.18.12) and Harry Brown (u20, 4.19.29).

It was getting late by the time of the four 'open' 3000m races. Kiri Marsh (u20) ran 10.35.34 for a pb in race 1 and Fraser Gordon (u15) took almost a minute off his 2016 best with 9.18.25, in race 2. In race 4, Kieran Reilly and Nathan Marsh were always in the lead group and finished 4th and 5th with 8.23.22 and 8.27.95. This was a season's best for Kieran and a twenty second pb for Nathan.

Parkrun Age graded grand prix attracted 11 TAC runners on another busy weekend for the club (ES, SAL, Vets League, BMC etc)  Dan Schofield was the winner again with another PB run (only one PB bonus 5 points per series) but looks ominously strong in 3rd equal place only 18 points off the leader with only 2 scores recorded.  Aimee Holdstock’s attempt to increase her score was thwarted as her 9 point score only equalled her lowest existing score in her series of 4

British Championships and World Championship Trials, at Birmingham, Saturday/Sunday, 1st/2nd July
Videos loaded !

Nine Tonbridge AC Distance Runners qualified for this year's British ChAmpionships and accepted the invitation to compete.
For some it was their first time at this level, whilst others had raced their once or twice before.

As a reminder much of the event was on BBC and World Champs places automatically went to athletes who finished in the top two and also had the necessary qualifying standard. Others will be added to the team, subsequently.

None of the TAC runners were in with a chance of GB selection for the World Championships, although James West at 1500m has one Commonwealth Games standard to his name.

Saturday
3000m steeplechase men final - Ryan Driscoll
Ryan placed an excellent 7th in 8.53.00, which was his second fastest ever time. Unfortunately, he had a real bad fall at one barrier, which must have shaken him up and left him with a swollen knee. However, the race showed him that he can be competitive at this level.

5000m men final - Chris Olley
Chris had a rare tough race for him and finished 18th in 14.39.86.

800m men heats - Sean Molloy
Sean missed the final by just one place. There were four heats with the brutal qualification of  just the winner and four fastest losers going through. Sean ran 1.50.23 for fourth in heat two and missed the final by just 0.28s

1500m men heats - James West, George Duggan, Luca Russo, Dom Brown
James was the only one who qualified for the final, as both George and Luca had their first experiences at the championships.

Sunday
1500m men final - James West
With four athletes in the twelve man field having the qualifying standard for the World Championships, this was one of the most competitive races of the championships. It was very tactical, with James passing the 700 metres mark in 1.56.0 i.e. with 800 metres to go. The fact that the last 800m was run in 1.53 shows the level that it was run at. James finished a magnificent 6th in 3.49.19, as Chris O'Hare won in 3.47.28.

5000m women final - Ashley Gibson, Nicole Taylor
Both Ashley and Nicole had tough races and were not at their best. Ash was 16th in 16.39.28 and Nicole 20th in 17.33.19.

James Kingston (u17) 1500m in 4.17.4, was just outside his recent pb.
Adam Van der Plas (u17) took 3.3s from his 1500m pb with 4.28.2
Finley Webster (u15) ran his first 1500m of the season in 4.50.6, which was a 27.8s pb.

Summary results are on the Results 2017 page.
​
TAC had ten running, with 8 pbs and a season's best, although some were disappointed with only fractional bests.
Amongst them were three race wins aswell, from Peter Bannister, Jamie Brown and James Puxty.

Chloe Bird (5.00.38), making her 1500m debut and Grace Fleming (4.50.83) were in race six of eighteeen 1500s, as Grace took more than 10 seconds from her pb.

Jamie Brown was next up and just before the bell looked like he might lose touch with the leading group, but produced a storming last lap to win in 4.12.80, taking 14.6s from his 2012 pb. Then both Dan Blades (4.13.76) and Bede Pitcairn-Knowles (4.11.64) trimmed their bests, although both were hoping for more.

James Puxty ran his normal aggressive race, undaunted by others and won race 17 in fine style, taking more than 13 seconds from his best with 3.57.05. Ben Murphy, who has been recovering from illness, was not far away from a pb with 3.59.42, nor was Michael Ellis with 4.06.35.

TAC had just one competitor in the 3000s, which was Jamie Bryant, who ran 8.42.20 (he would like it known that it's better than my pb now), taking 36 seconds from his 2011 best.

British Milers Club Meeting, at Trafford, near Manchester, Tuesday 27th June

Tonbridge placed third of the six teams.
Provisional results are on the Results 2017 page.
There were a mass of personal bests, as you can see in the photos below.

I will mention a couple - Ella KingPowrie, who managed to get to Chelmsford after being stuck in a massive traffic jam and then battled to second in the u17, 800m to run a pb. Her last at the distance was two years ago and anyone who bounces back like that deserves a pat on the back.

The second mention is for Ollie Dunn who set what looked like a suicidal pace in the u20 800m, but hung on and smashed his pb. One of the bravest pieces of front running that I have seen this season and its worth watching the video !

Sean Molloy won one of the main events of the evening, as he took victory in the Sydney Wooderson Memorial 800m in 1.48.99, although the bonus prize money eluded him (a time of 1.48.4 i.e. Wooderson's old World Record mark was needed).

Kieran Eland improved his pb by half a second to 1.55.75 in the B race. Simon Coppard (u17) ran a season's best of 1.56.21 to win the C race, in which Christian Lee (u20) ran a pb of 1.58.58. Michael Ellis then recorded another TAC win in race E with a season's best of 1.58.97.

Jamie Brown had intended to also race 800m, but transport issues meant he swapped to the later mile race, where he ran 4.37.42, which was sixteen seconds quicker than his pb from last year, whilst also superior to his 1500m best.

Becky O'Hara set a pb in the 400m of 56.84 and ex-TAC athlete Tom Kendrick ran a 1.58.50 pb in the 800m, despite spending more time these days focussed on rugby. Tom is a former winner of the National u13 Cross Country Championships.

On a busy weekend for club athletics competition for all ages, there was the minimum number of 10 TAC athletes at Parkrun.   Ollie Kingston was the standout with a PB run that scored 15 points and takes him to the top of the leader board.  Aimee Holdstock scored a solid second place in this 3rd of this 9 race series.

​Videos loaded !

On day 2 of the championships TAC athletes added four silver medals to Ally Kinloch's bronze on day 1.
Phoebe Barker and Nicole Taylor had the unenviable task of racing the longer distances in scorching conditions and took silver in the under 20 womens 3000 metres and under 23 womens 5000 metres.

James West came close to winning the under 23 1500 metres, but since he has the qualifying time is guaranteed selection for the GB team to compete in the European Championships, in Poland. George Duggan finished 10th.

In a finish just as close as James' , Sean Molloy was second in the under 23 800 metres. As he hasn't achieved the qualifying time of 1.47.00 its unlikely he will gain GB selection.

Watford Open Meeting, Wednesday 14th June, including British Milers Club Gold Standard races
Videos Loaded !

It was a very special night at Watford,not only for Tonbridge AC but a host of British middle distance runners, as the BMC races produced plenty of significant times.

Sean Molloy has battled away for five years, since setting a UK under 17, 800m record in 2012 of 1.48.24. Finally, he not only ran a new personal best, but broke Steve Fennell's TAC record with 1.47.76. He is closing in on the European under 23 qualifying time for GB but the odds are against this with just this weekend's National under 23 championships before the deadline. Nevertheless, he is making good progress and hopefully there is more to come this season.

Soon after Sean's race James West found himself in one of the best 1500 metre races in the country in recent times, as he was one of five athletes who ran under 3.40. James clocked 3.39.65 which is a new pb, a European under 23 qualifying time and the second fastest ever by a TAC athlete.

In terms of the European under 23s an athlete needs both the qualifying time and to finish top two in the trials to guarantee selection. The trials are this coming weekend at Bedford, with GB teams selected on Monday.

​Finally, after a frustrating few months of bad luck in races and injury Dom Brown ran 1500 metres in 3.46.62, which is a new pb and also inside the qualifying time for the British Championships and World Championships trials.
