The national quality and attendance of the race was shown by the top 5 schools, with Coopers Schools from Essex, finishing 2nd, Shrewsbury School finishing 3rd, Sedburgh 4th and Brighton, Hove and Sussex sixth form college finishing 5th. Judd scored 72 points, with 6 scoring runners from teams of 8, winning by 58 points. The front of the race saw exceptional runs from Tomer T (Sussex Champion the week before) and Eduard L (4th Middlesex U20 the week before) followed by James K from Judd. Equalling his position of third from the year before but in a time that would have won most previous Knole run races, James ran the very tough 5.92mile course in 32m08s. Judd then packed the top 10, with Dan S finishing a superb 5th, Adam Plas 6th running his best ever race and Toby E finishing 10th with a gutsy run. Also running their best ever cross country races were Alex S in 21st and Matthew D in 27th, running in potentially his 1st of 4 Knole runs. Completing the top 8 runners from Judd were Alex T 36th and Dan S in 38th. The B team also had some outstanding runs, with the team beating schools including Abingdon, Westminster, Norwich and  Manchester Grammar schools. Alex B raced superbly to finish 41st, Joe G worked very hard for a  53rd place, Adam S a fine 69th, Adam D 95th, Will K 101st, Jamie T 114th, Patrick S 116th and Adam W 117th from a field of 240 finishers (and many non-finishers! This keeps the teams unbeaten season going, following their invitation to represent England in the world schools cross country.
