Some of our students have now qualified for the District Athletics Carnival to be held at Blackbutt Oval in Wauchope on Monday 5 August.

When we reached Blackbutt Oval, it was time for the 800 meter race straight away. The under 12 girls went first and their races continued. When all of the 800 meter races finished the girls and boys split up. The girls went to the field events while the boys went to track events. The girls done Turbo, Shot Putt and Long Jump. The boys done 100 meter races, then it was lunch. After lunch the boys and girls swapped, the girls done track and the boys did field. The girls got through 100 and 200 meters while the boys done the Long Jump, Shot Putt and Turbo. After the boys finished their events they went and did 200 meters. When the boys finished the 200 meter race, we had our awards presentation. I was very excited as I won a medal for the girls 12 year old champion. Everyone had a great day. Shyla Clark
