Prep Sports Day
P rep Sports Day this year was held on Friday 25th of June. It had been postponed due to poor weather earlier in the month but luckily the overcast sky didn’t dampen the day. It was an action-packed day with 50 running races in total. Prior to the track events we had collated all the data from our field events. Sutton were in the lead by just 10 points, closely followed by Fiske and then Waymouth. The throwing and jumping events had been another huge success and a couple of school records broken for good measure. Elijah Patterson and Farrah Dickinson both set new records for the U9s javelin. From race one to race fifty it was non-stop action. Parents and family members were able to watch the event and cheered all the competitors on. There were many stand out performances throughout the event but there were two athletes who received the Victor and Victrix Ludorum. Oliver Birmingham and Umaiza Malik both represented their houses incredibly well and were worthy winners. Umaiza won the high jump and Oliver the long jump. For the first time we gave the Year 3 and 4 athletes a chance to run in a relay race. We created the first ever 5x50 metre and it was superb, Fiske andWaymouth were out in front going round the final bend before Sutton came through about 20 metres away from the line and took the win. Well done to Sutton. In the highly anticipated 4x100 metre relay and with the winner likely taking the overall Sports Day the Year 5 and 6 athletes took to the start line. It was a close race that could have gone either way. However, it was Fiske that came out on top. With the final scores in we went to the overall winners for the day.
In third place Waymouth with 519 points, in second Sutton with 635 points and the winners were Fiske with 643 points. It doesn’t get much closer than that.
