ATHLETICS: Upper Sixth Bromley High School student Anna Myers became U20 Kent cross country league champion last month.
She said: “I had competed in all four races, at Swanley Park (twice), Tonbridge and Sparrows Den.

TAEKWONDO: Students from Tan’Gun Taekwondo Academy attended the British championships in Crawley.
Tan’Gun Taekwondo Academy has in the past been noted for its high level of tuition. To date, they have had seven members accepted onto Team GB.

Although not all players won a podium finish, they all ranked within the top 12 in the country.
The icing on the cake came a few days later when a letter arrived for nine-year-old Lewis Plummer and Harvey Perkins, 10, announcing their invitation to join the British team.
Academy head instructor David Venkatachellum said: “What great weekend.
“I’m very proud of the Tan’Gun team and especially so of all the individual achievements made by our students”
