District Athletics Competition. 16th June 2009

On Tuesday 16th June, 33 children went to St. Martin's School to participate in the District Athletics competition.
The field events (high jump, long jump and ball throwing) took place first.

Callum Sackett achieved 3rd place in the boys ball throwing and Charlotte Clews achieved 3rd place in the girls long jump.

Next were the track events.
In these races we achieved six 3rd places, five 2nd places and one 1st place. There was some excellent running and a great deal of determination on the faces of all the runners.

Special mention must be made of Thomas Clews and Oliver Clarke from Form 2, who joined the Form 3 boys relay team and ran brilliantly, Matthew Bell who started his relay leg in 6th place, but managed to finish in 2nd place, and the Form 5 girls relay team (Abigail Everett, Charlotte Clews, Joasia Bortkiewicz and Sophie Church) who achieved 1st place - our only 1st place of the competition.

Overall the Herington House team was placed joint 4th.
Well done to you all.
