On Tuesday morning, our Y5/6 Athletics team took part in their 'local' heats. The event was organised by School Sports Nottingham and was officiated by a team of young sports leaders from Ellis Guilford. 

 

The team really enjoyed their morning at Ellis, running 6 different races – including both individual and relay. We also took part in field events, such as the standing long jump and a foam javelin throw.

 

In the final standings, Whitemoor finished in 3rd position (with 168 points). Unfortunately, only the first and second placed teams went through to the semi-final stage. Congratulations to those two schools: Heathfield and Dunkirk. 

 

Looking forward, we must not be too disappointed as we only missed out on the qualifying places by 2 points! Lots of hard work in preparation for the outdoor Athletics tournament in summer is what we will focus on now. 

 

Well done to those who competed: Luke W, Vlad A, Oskar D, Troy B, Alfie G, Daniel P, Lynden J, Mason N, Ajay S, Declan M, Castell B, Harvinder D, Savita A, Beth K, Mya H, Georgia N, Roche M, Millie E, Natasha C, Peyten C, Gloria L and Laila H.
