Term 4 Athletics ( Week 3 Set Blog)

Ciao everyone and welcome back!

Today I will be talking about my schools athletics day.
Let roll on round!

On the 25th of October 2018, my school had athletics day at the Rawhiti domain. From the ages of 5-13 where partictpating in this years Athletics. (Years 0-8)
Around 9:15 on the Thursday was the time when we left to go to athletics. When we arrived we gathered in the middle of the field listening to the instructions. For the morning the boys would be doing the field events and the girls would be doing the running. Around lunch time we would switch over. After the instructions the girls moved over to the running tracks where we waited in the rain until it was our turn to race. Around 10 minutes later it was time for my year group to race. We got ready and then started racing. For the first race I placed 4th. After that race, I raced again. In that race, I came 4th as well. Then l waited until it was my time to race in long distance. In that I came 5th to last. I was pretty happy with that placing.

When all the girls had finished racing it was time to switch over. I was so happy as field events was my favourite! The order that my year group went in was discus, long jump, shotput and then high jump.

We went over to discus and then started throwing in order of our last names. When it was my turn I was really nervous but in the end I threw a really good throw. It was 10.30. I loved that! When everyone had got one throw, we went onto our second. On my second throw, I got 12.30. Even better!
In the end I came third! Yay!

When we had finsihed discus, we headed of to long jump. In that round, I did okay but didn't get a placing. I was fine with that!

Later on we headed to shot put. I really like this event as well but in the end, I didn't do that well as expected.

Finally I went to high jump. I was really excited for this event but didn't do well in that either.

When we had finsihed all the events, we started packing up and then headed back to school. This had been an awesome athletics day and can't wait for next years athletics!

A few days later, the results were in for zones. In discus, the first place person pulled out so I had the advantege to go to zones for athletics. I said yes! I am so excited and can't wait for zones!

Have you done athletics before? Did you get any placings? Did you go to zones?
