On Monday the year 4-8 students at Rawhiti school had a athletics day. We all went in different age groups like all the year 8 girls where with the year 4 boys, each group went to different things at different times. The year 8 girls and year 4 boys went to high jump first, I am a year 8 girl so we started the high jump at 1m high but the year 4 boys started a lot lower (I don't know what exact high it was) the height the boys started at is the high I had been practicing with so sadly I did not do very well with high jump. But next we had long jump which I am OK at so I was not to worried, the first jump I did was 2m 90cm and my next jump was 2m 70cm so not to bad. We were only allowed two jumps but if you got in the top three you got to jump again, but I did not get in the top three :( . Any way next we had sprints which I am good at because of surf club, but I got put in a really fast group so once I was behind I could not catch up. We had a lunch break then next was middle distant running which is three laps around the bike track, I sat out for this one because of my ankle. Then we had another break then last we had shot put and discus, I was not very worried about discus because I had been to zones for it before but this time I did not really want to go to zones. I cant remember my scores for shot put and discus but I know I did not to to bad. Over all I had a great day and am proud of myself.
