Sportshall Athletics was the second Athletics tournament of the year after a positive start in the cross country. The Year 5 and 6 children had to progress through trials in school for the first time in order to join the squad and have given up their lunchtimes in order to train for this event. The training proved beneficial as an incredibly consistent display saw Clockhouse win their heat for the second year running, before finishing 8th overall in the borough.
Consistency was really the keyword of the day for the girls running team, as they continually managed to finish 2nd in their races before winning the final race of the day. The boys, again a model of consistency, finishing 1st or 2nd in almost all of their races before also winning the final race of the day.
Meanwhile, there were some incredible performances in the field events, particularly in the long jump, speed bounce and javelin. Also, a huge well done to the children who took on the challenging triple jump and gave up extra time to learn the technique. Again, this hard work paid off as they finished very high up the standings.
Overall, this was another very encouraging performance in the indoor Athletics so a big well done to the children who have shown amazing enthusiasm and dedication towards improving their Athletics skills.
