The atmosphere was electric as the competition developed during the evening and was further enhanced when the children found themselves competing under floodlights, creating a memorable experience for everyone involved. Our athletes rose to the occasion, with many progressing to the finals in both the sprint races and relay events. We celebrated numerous first, second and third-place finishes across the track disciplines, while our field event competitors were equally impressive, securing both first and second place in the boys' long jump. Strong performances in the long-distance races also contributed valuable points to our overall score.

The standard of competition was extremely high, there were some very close finishes, making our achievement of finishing 2nd overall even more fantastic. This success was the result of fantastic individual performances combined with excellent teamwork in our relays throughout the evening. No dropped batons! Our girls' team was placed 2nd, our relay teams were also 2^nd and our boys' team 3rd.

One of the highlights of the event was the outstanding team spirit shown by all our pupils. Whether competing or waiting for their next event, they could be heard enthusiastically cheering on their teammates and encouraging athletes from other schools. Their positive attitude and determination reflected our school values perfectly.

We would also like to thank the many family members who came along to support the children. Their encouragement from the sidelines helped create a wonderful atmosphere and made the evening even more special. Thank you for all the cheering which may have ensured some of us made it over the line in some very closely contested races!

We are incredibly proud of all the children who took part. Their effort, resilience and sporting excellence made it a truly fantastic event and an evening to remember. Well done to everyone involved and thanks to Mr Adams who came back to watch! 🏅🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🎉
