On Wednesday afternoon, a group of year 8 students headed over to Medina to compete in the Island Schools Sports Hall Athletics Competition, whereby our team of 5 boys and 6 girls took on 5 athletic events each.
The students performed well across each field event, with stand out performances in the speed bounce which saw Euan take 1st position with 76 bounces in 30 seconds. Taylor also put in a commendable effort with 68 in the girls competition. In the triple jump Lucy gained a PB with 4.98m and Destiny just behind with 4.88m. In the shot put Freya got 6.30m. Benji and Theo also performed well in the vertical jump coming in the top 5.
On the track events, the boys put in a superb effort on the obstacle race which saw them dominate and this was followed up by excellent performances in the 2 lap race by Euan and Jack with both gaining a 2nd place. Jack also gained a second in the 4 lap race.
Theo also inspired others with his excellent motivational coaching from the sideline and also through his strategic conversations with officials.
Overall, an excellent performance by team Carisbrooke!
