We were all getting our face, legs and our arms face painted and adding accessories like tutu's, Capes and Ribbons in the colour of red since that was the colour to represent my house, TOBRUK! I was SO excited this year for athletics because I thought that this was the year that Tobruk was going to bounce back. Constance, Cerenity, Perenara, Leilani and I were the leaders for our house so our schedule was packed having to lose our voices while leading the chants, making sure the kids picked up there rubbish, be sure that kids were listening and to be a good role model.
We were marching with pride and chanting hard out around the bike track until we reached our Gazebo of red. We were then split up to go to different courses and to compete; there were different courses like:
- Stand Jump
- Long Jump
- High Jump
- Discuss- & Shot put
I enjoyed playing High Jump and Stand Jump because during Stand Jump you had NO head start so you could really challenge yourself, I also liked High Jump because it felt as if you were in the air landing on on a blue soft platform so you wouldn't get injured.
Last Para:
Lastly we did our running course where each age group of the houses had to verse each other for the race tracks. There were different races each time, for example:
- 50 meter race
- 75 meter race
- 100 meter race
- 400 meter race
I ran in the 400, 75 and 100 meter race and came 4th (75), 5th (100) and 7th (400). At the end of the races Tripoli and Benghazi won majority race's but we were about 3rd for our racing. After all the racing was lastly th relay race which I also took part of.
After all the racing we FINALLY had a break and decided to have a chant off where it was worth 50 POINTS! I was super pumped. We all screamed and chanted our hardest but sadly Benghazi ended up winning those 50 points but I knew we still did well! It was the moment and they were adding up the points, and the winner of 2018 was...
BENGHAZI!
Although I would like to say that our house could have won Benghazi had done a TERRIFIC JOB and they were very hard to compete up against.
