Earlier today, a group of Whitemoor's finest young athletes (from Years 3 and 4) travelled up to Ellis Guilford, ready to compete in the local heats of the Sportshall Athletics Championships. 

 

With last year's team making it through both the heats and the semi-final stages, as well as the Y5/6 team repeating this feat back in December, expectation levels were rightly high.

 

After taking part in various sprinting, throwing and jumping events - some as a team and some as individuals - points were totalled to find out which schools had finished in the top three, and therefore the three who would progress to the next round. 

 

Despite some impressive performances, from the likes of Makeda, our children did not achieve a large enough points total (as a team) to progress from the heats. A

 

Our attentions now turn to the Y4/5 Track and Field event in June, where we are confident we'll see an improved performance from Team Whitemoor. 

 

Our Y3/4 Sportshall Athletics team consisted of: Alawrae K, Fizzah A, Jahmar C, James C, Kiyan A, Kurtis T, Lily E, Lucas S, Makeda M, Malak E, Meerab A, Natai B, Nida K, Aamina S, Freya C, Jagraj L, Jayden A, Josiah R, Kade A and Mohammed Subhan H.
