Junior Run Jump Throw 2010

It was a cool, windless day for our event this year which provided us with comfortable conditions for the participants. A big thanks to all the children in the event and also to the parents and family who were able to come and support them.

This Event was created to develop the basic skills needed for children to participate in Athletics events in the future as they progress up the school. The main focus of this event is on participation with one competitive event at the end being the Year finals for the 50 metre sprints with place ribbons being given.

2010 Cycle Champs Underway

The 2010 FOS Individual Pursuit Cycle Champs got underway today. All results are on the google doc. called "Cycle Entry List 2010" on the left of this blog.

Leading the Year 6 girls so far is Emily W with 2.58.72 for her 5 laps and leading the boys is Ben M-L with 2.35.84 for the 1000m.

All start times and days are on the same list as mentioned above.

Two Relay Wins at the Centrals!

Ben M-L took a fantastic 4h in the 11 boys' 1200m in a new PB of 4.03
- the first three ahead of him were all Year 7 boys

The Athletics team performed brilliantly at the Primary Sports Canterbury Athletic Championships at QEII Stadium today and we could quite easily say we are the fastest school in Canterbury! All four of our 9 and 10 year old sprint relay teams won their heats and then the 9 and 10 year girls' teams WON their finals - a feat very rarely (if ever) achieved by the same school! The boys couldn't quite match them with the 9 years team disqualified with the team winning, one they beat in the heats. The 10 boys then took a super second in their final!

Nine of our distance runners finished in the first ten in their fields of 34-36 with Alex E running a smart race to place 2nd in the 9 years, Ben M-L 4th in the 11 years and Megan A 5th in the 10 years. Sophie W ran a well timed 50m to win her eat then win the bronze in the 9 years' girls. Full results are under the Primary Results section of: http://www.primarysportscanterbury.org.nz

Sprint Orienteering

Jacob and Fergus did a superb time in the Sprint event

Moe and Liam, some of the youngest competitors competing

Another successful day today for the FOS orienteers, this time at Halswell Quarry for the Sprints event. We again had the biggest representation from any school and all children did extremely well as they had either 20 (boys) or 25 (girls) controls to find. Sam B and Ben H were tentatively in 5th place in the Boys' recording just over 12 minutes! With their performance it looks like the boys should take 3rd in the teams' race and some strong girls' results again should see them retain their second place. Congratulations to Redcliffs School who easily won both Year 6 and under grades.

Well done to all of our competitors, ranging from Year 2 to Year 6 children. Thanks to Mrs Williamson and Mrs Husband for their help today also and of course to the parents, many who had to shadow their children...and came back looking puffed! Full results should be on soon at paponz.org
