Makaraka Athletics Day

On Monday the 23th, we had our Makaraka School athletics day. I competed in all of the races I could, and that was the 100m and the 200m races. The 100m was my first race of the day, and we had to have two heats for the Yr 6 girls races. The clappers went bang and we all raced off, I felt really nervous and excited. I ran fast and when I reached the finish line I saw my mum right before me looking happy.              Mr Hocquard handed me an orange rod and congratulated me for coming first, I was really proud of myself. The second heat ran and the judes got the top three ready for the final 100m race. Again I was excited and really nervous, again the clappers went and we all ran off round the corner to the finish line. I came first again with both me friends coming second and third. The 200m race was next, so Mr Milne called the Y 6 girls over to the lanes to wait for our turn. Again we had to go in two heats, I was in the first heat, so I got into my lane and waited for the starting sign. 'BANG' went the clapper and we raced off like lighting. I came first again in my heat, then the finals were after lunch. For lunch I had an ice-block and half a container of last night's dinner. During my 200m race, when I near the finish line I got the stitch so Hannah speed up and just passed right by the finish line so she came first by a few centimeters. So altogether I got a first and a second. I had a really fun day with the tabloids sports after the running.
