A Day at Centrals Athletics

Zoe & Malachi —

When we got there, there were crowds and crowds of people.

 (Zoe) My first event was very soon so I had to warm up very quickly and before I knew it it was my long jump. When It was my turn to go I felt nervous but I knew it was normal to feel that way, so I took two deep breaths and then I was ready. When I started running I felt the wind in my hair and felt so fast but before I knew it I jumped. When I landed I felt so good about myself because I did my PB.When I did all three of my jumps we heard the results….. I came 10th! I felt happy that I did so well and my friend Annebelle got in top 5 and came third!

(Malachi) Straight after Zoe's long jump I had discus, my favourite event of all time. Before I knew it my friend Luka threw. Everyone thought he was going to win! Soon enough it was my throw.

I threw 25:86 and everyone was amazed. luckily I made the top 8 and had one more throw. I was the last to throw. A PB (personal best) I got 26:10 . And I won!!

Then it was my shotput and I threw my put, I didn't even place which is super sad.

(Zoe) Next was my 80m race when it was my heats . I felt super nervous but I remembered that I didn't matter what place I got. Amazingly I came 1st and got through to the final! When it was the final I was versing people older than me. I ran super fast and came fourth which was good for me.
