Running For Victory!

March 11, 2008 · No Comments

On Monday 10th March 2008, Some y6 pupils (and some y5) went along to the EIS, to compete in the South Yorkshire Indoor Athletics Finals. Eight schools had gone through to the finals (two from Barnsley, two from Sheffield, two from Doncaster and two from Rotherham); but sadly, only 7 showed up.

Jordan started us off with a clear first place in the one lap sprint. As the boys were running like mad, the girls were also working their hardest on the field events. It was a great success!

After the boys, they had the old switcheroo, and the girls began to work their socks off on the track. Amy C whizzed easily to the finish line to set the girls off on a role! Jack (who had been brought into the squad especially for this event) threw hs javelin so far that the wall at the other end of the sports hall was the only thing to stop it from circling the world!

Finally, it came to the results. As the places were being announced, everyone sat nervously with their fingers and toes crossed. …7…6…5…4…3…2…1… STOCKSBRIDGE JUNIORS! The crowd roared with excitement - it was the 1st time ever, that S.J.S had won. It was a truly great day! :-)
