Year 3 and 4 Sporthall Athletics - Friday 13^th February.

Southborough Sportshall Athletics team produced some fantastic results at the recent Leigh Academy Tonbridge and West Kent Schools Sports Partnership Athletics event. Each pupil took part in running events, throwing events and jumping events as part of their competition. It was very busy and competitive morning with Slade, Claremont, Woodlands, St Matthews, Sussex Road and St Marks bringing primary school teams to the event.

The format of the day has changed over the years and this year all the children had the opportunity to take part in a number of events which included relays and one and two lap sprints races on the track. In the field events the children took part in the javelin, speed bounce, chest push, standing long Jump and the vertical jump. We had some fantastic results with exceptional runs from the boy’s relay team who won their race. We had some brilliant throwing with Ben P, Thales and Abigail scoring long in the chest push and the javelin and the girls ran superbly in the one and two lap races.

All the children really enjoyed the morning and thoroughly enjoyed competing against the other schools in the competition. In the end Claremont and Slade won the event on equal points and we were pleased to finish 6^th in many of the children’s first Sportshall Athletics event.

Well done to everyone who took part in the Sportshall Athletics, the team produced such a superb set of results. Also, a big thank you to fellow teacher Mr Costa Franks for all his support during the morning helping to get all the children to their events. The results will be published on the website in due course.

The Year 3 team were:  Thales, Ethan, Tristan, Hendrix, Jessica, Arabella, Isabelle, Amelie
