Recount Text : Athletics

It was bussy summer for athletic competition. The District Sports Competition with 6 other school was a day to remember. Dan Chu competed in the under-16 400 meters. As usual he seemed to go slowly at the start but ran like the wind in the last 60 meters to get second place. Donna Shaikh ran very well to reach fourth place in the Junior 800 meters. Our Junior relay team tried very hard in 4100 meters. Last years, they dropped the baton. This year they beat everyone else but were unable to beat Amner School, whose team was the clear winner. Therese Hudson did well in the High Jump and Ricardo Evans surprised everyone by coming first in the Intermediate Shot Put. Our congratulations to all the competitors. Our head says that it’s taking parts that’s important not winning, but we look forward to even better result next year.
