1st, 2nd and 3rd for Relay Teams

Our Athletics team performed with distinction today at the Primary Sports Canterbury Athletics Championships.

The 10 years girls relay (Molly, Hee Jun, Daisy and Felicity) team blew away their competition to win their final by 10-15metres! They were superb. The 9 boys team (Ryan, Ed, Nathan and Logan) took a great 2nd and the 10 years boys team (Ben, Alex, Sam and Will) matched their 3rd from last year. Felicity won the 10 years girls Long Jump and Alex H led the 10 years boys Discus until the last round to end up with 2nd in a new PB. Others to take 2nd were Bayley (9 yrs girls 50m), Jordyn (9 yrs girls High Jump) and Molly (10 yrs girls 80m). The first race of the day saw Annabelle run a great race to take 3rd in the 9 years girls 1000m in 3m45s. Our other distance runners all performed well with Sam and Hamish (10 years boys 1000m) finishing 5th and 7th in a field of 36. We also had some close 4ths on the day too!

Thanks to the parents and Brent (lunchtime supervisor) who supported the team.

PSC Athletic Sports 2008: Fendalton Success!

Wow, we had amazing results at the ANZ Primary Sports Canterbury Athletic Sports today. Out of the 176 schools that were represented (lots of schools had nobody there) we won two relays - not matched by any other school that goes up to Year 6! We also won three individual titles as well and had a third and fourth from two of our other relay teams. Well done team!

A big thanks to all the parents who came to support us and especially to Margaret Coard who recorded all our results and came on the bus with us.

Ex Pupil Helps Athletics Team

Ex pupil Margot Gibson came to help out the Athletics team last Thursday. Margot, now a Year 11 at St. Margarets, still holds our Junior 60m and 1000m records. Margot is the current NZ Sec. Schools Junior Cross country Champion, North and South Island Colgate Games Champion in Grade 13 for the 800/1500m and the Inter Provincial Grade 13 Athletics Champion. She gave us some hints about relay running and then helped out our long jumpers.

Margot leaves next Saturday to represent New Zealand in the Pacific School Games in Canberra.
