WR Athletics Write-up by Taite Johnson 

Well it started with me AB, Chase and Jimmy in the car because we had to take them but when we got out there were just mountains of people and cars once we passed through the gates and went to our shelter. After a couple minutes before my race was called (800m) we did the welcome to country . I was a bit nervous but once my race was called I ran over to the marshalling area. When they told me to line up I was very cold so when we started I was freezing.  In that race I came 3rd. 

After that I had to go to disc - my first throw was not my best I was about 5th then my second throw I moved up to second my final throw I got first, although that was only in my age group 10 years but I’m junior boys so 8s and 9s get ruled into it and 2 of them beat me so I got third in that one.

Straight after I had my 100m I put up a really good fight and ended up winning. I got a tiny rest after that I used it and ate and got more energy than I had to do long jump. I didn't do too good in long jump because of the way it was set out, the mat was tiny and we had to jump over a grass bit and the real long jump.

After that I had to do the 200m. I was in the last heat and I was almost at the back of the line I pulled through and won it.

Then we had the relay AB, Chase, Denver and myself it was a hard race but we got 3rd. 

Then I had high jump. I was going so well until the rain it was called off. I didn't find out until later that I got Runner Up Junior Boy Champion.  I had a great day and I was proud of myself.
