Cross Country Relays Brislane Shines for Tonbridge B Team
|
Tonbridge Athletic Club produced a masterclass in cross-country racing to successfully defend their senior men's title at the English National Cross Country Relay Championships at Berry Hill Park, Mansfield.
On a day bathed in dry, windless conditions with firm running underfoot, the reigning champions demonstrated immense squad depth across a stacked field of 185 teams, each tackling the four-stage, 5-kilometre circuit.
The Tonbridge A-string quartet of Ted Higgins, James Kingston, Jamie Macdonald, and Jack Higgins proved class personified from the outset, executing a clinical race plan to hold off the country's finest distance outfits and seal back-to-back national crowns.
The club’s strength across the board was underlined by an eye-catching display from their B team, who surged through the field to claim a remarkable 12th place overall against frontline senior opposition.
Bermudian middle-distance specialist Jake Brislane provided the catalyst on the second leg, clocking an explosive 15 minutes six seconds to rip through the pack and make substantial headway.
Will Beeston maintained that aggressive momentum on the penultimate third stage with a sharp 15:16 split, putting the B squad in prime position to cap off a memorable afternoon for the Kent powerhouse.
