On Monday it was senior athletics day for Year 4-8. It was quite cloudy, overcast, humid and warm, it was nice to do everything in this type of weather, last time we had to do it in the rain. I couldn’t wait to start athletics day because it is fun, challenging and it’s encouraging to get yourself out there to compete.
My favourite activity I did was middle distance, it was a 1km distance and we had to go around the school a certain way, we had to get past the finish line in under 3 mins 35 secs to be able to qualify for zones. I came 1st place for middle distance and have qualified for zones.
The next activity I did was sprints, I had to race 5 people in one race and try to sprint for the finish, there is a certain amount of people in one race and the top 2 that finish go off to the finals, there is 3 groups of 5 so I got 2nd in my race so I went off to the finals at the end of the day.
My favourite activity was high jump. We had to make it over 1.10m there was more than 3 of us that made it over 1.10 metres so we had to keep going higher, the next height was 1.15m and when 4 of us made it past so we had to go higher, it got to the point it was too high so we had to decrease it but we made it 1.17m instead. Luckily I made it and I am now going to zones.
At the end of the day was sprint finals and relay races. I had to do my sprint finals and had to race 6 other people that were accepted into the finals, I had to run quite fast but didn’t make it into zones.
The last thing we had to do was the relay races, I would’ve done it but there wasn’t that many people that wanted to do it in my year group so I couldn’t of but that’s alright.
I think it was a successful day for myself, my friends and for everyone.
