Take Your Mark … Set… Go!!!

During this year in athletics we have had a lot of fun.  We get on the bus every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon to Northbridge and come back on the boarders mini-bus which was driven by Rev Dudley.

This is our first term of athletics as we are in Yr 7.  What we have enjoyed about athletics is running with our friends.  Being able to get fit is also a good thing.  It’s also been a great opportunity to meet and get to know more Day boys.

School House is well represented in both Track & Field.  Our house captain Fin Hancock is competing in Shot Put and our Housemaster Mr Junee, helps out with the sprinters.   We are in the distance and sprint squads which is great but it has been challenging to try and keep up with the older boys.   But when you finish a race, the other boys will always congratulate you and encourage you.  I would defiantly encourage everybody to at least try it. 

Besides Tuesday & Thursdays we train and compete every Saturday up at Northbridge doing training and time trials.  Athletics is a lot of fun and is a good experience even though we have a bit of work to do. 

Hopefully we will make the GPS squad but I we don’t at least we are having a go and enjoying it at the same time.
