Athletics day

At school we have been practising athletics, on every Thursday. Finely the big day has arrived, for the school to see who will go to zones.


Arriving to school was kind of scary, everyone was in sports gear, the wind was gusty, and it was like icicles were touching my face as I breathed in the cold air, goosebumps were, all over my legs. I rushed in to my class room to keep warm. Soon after, we lined up out side, ready to, do Athletics. Boys left and were doing The field events and the girls had to do Track. The younger girls got to do sprints first. Finely the eleven year old got to do sprints. I lined up in the first line of sprints, Butterflies in my tummy, and my heart, was racing, The cold wind disappeared. " On your marks....Get set.....Go". I was off running as fast as I could on the wet grass. It was over, the cold collapsed around me, and I got sent to sit down. Soon the sprints were over, then we moved on to Long distance. It was oldest to youngest. But at lest I was not waiting for that long. All the girls in my age lined up, ready to go. We had to jog  up to the cones, And then we were of. We had to do three laps around the back field. I was coming fourth place, then on the second lap I came second then third. On the last lap I came fourth. they gave me a card and I said my name, and sat down, and watched the others, race. Soon it was lunch time, we had a break for half an hour, then it was our turn, to do Field. The girls went in to there age group. My age group is eleven, up first we had discus. I wasn't every good at it but, I got high score then every time it was my turn I got high.

Then when discus was over we went to a tent to have a little rest, then we went on to long jump.              ( Long jump is my favourite sport ) We lined in our last name, in order, I was maybe  8 or 7. When we were running for long jump we had to take off our hats. When it was my turn I ran as fast as I could, I had to jump on the orange of the mat, No thither, than that other, wise it would be no jump. I jumped and a slid in the sand. We had three turns at it, I came third.

 High Jump. We lined up on our sides, I was on the left, and a lot of people were on the right. Soon it was my turn, and I didn't make it over then the second time I made it. Three other kids made it as well, The pole went high, I got nevus, I ran I jumped and I smacked in to the pole, my side hurt, then it was my second jump, I ran I jumped, and I scummed the pole and it fell down. I was out. Two other girls got out as well, so I came Second= .

last but not least Shot put. I was the fifth girl to go, I steeped up to the circle. One tow three. I had thrown it as far as I could. I was tied with number ten. Then my second throw. I took the ball in my hand it was very heavy, I through it again and it got therther than be for. I came round about second to last but better than last year.

I got to zones for long distanced, I think I came around about eleven, out of fifteen girls.
