School Sports Day 2018



Today was the school sports day and as it was an all day event I decided to take the day off work, Me and Holly arrived at around 11:30 just in time to join the boys for a picnic lunch, Tina was off getting some blood tests done. After lunch the boys started their events.

 

Joshua ran the hurdles, the sprint and the long distance. He came 4th in his hurdles and sprint and then took a 3rd place medal in the long distance. So only one medal for him this year which his was disappointed with as he has always come away with at least two medals.

 

Brandon only did the hurdles and the long distance. He took a 3rd place medal in the hurdles and then a very good 1st place in the long distance. Brandon seemed to start off slowly in the long distance and was cruising around in 4th place. He had me worried but was a cool as a cucumber and paced the race perfectly. He kicked in his turbo around lap 2 and never looked like losing.

 

What was really cool at this years sports day was that all the kids wore their own t-shirts which they had designed with their name, year and whether they were clubs, spades, hearts or diamonds. Really proud of both boys today and can't wait until next year when Holly can join them for sports day at Abacus.

Finally Joshua gets a medal with a strong 3rd place in the long distance.

After 3 events Joshua finally gets to stand on the podium.

Brandon had me worried in his long distance as he settles in to 4th at the start.

But he knew the other kids in the race a paced it perfectly, dipping for the line to win easily.
