Year 5 and 6 Athletics
13 children from Cliddesden Primary attended one of three athletics qualifying competitions held in Basingstoke this month. The top three teams to qualify will go on to compete in the Basingstoke final held at Brighton Hill. From here the top three teams will then have the opportunity to compete at the county final in March.
Cliddesden team all worked hard to gain points in a variety of athletics events including; 1, 2 and 3 length sprints, triple jump, long jump, javelin and many more! Each member of the team took part in two running events, one throwing event and one jumping event. During the course of the afternoon we saw every member of the team striving to produce their best performances in each event.
There were notable performances from Ryan who leapt to new lengths in the triple jump and Dylis and Verity striding to success in the sprint and scoring 12 metres in her javelin throw!
Unfortunately, this year there was great competition and we missed out on a place in the next round. But for all the year 4 and 5’s that enjoy athletics events – get practising for next year as the competition will come around all too soon!
