Bring It On


When I was 9 years old, our school had an Athletics Day. We all competed in lots of events, like High Jump, Long Jump, Vortex, Shot Put, Discus and Sprints.

First,  we did high jump.  It was a nice and sunny day with green wet grass. Trace wrote down our names in order. The nine year olds girls did high jump.  I thought I was going to come last. First my Mum said, “We will have a practice before we start.”
After we had a practice, we did the real one. First, Sorenity made it and she made a big THUMP!!! noise when she hit the mat then it was my turn. I ran as fast as I could and I made it. When I hit the mat, It was like a small blue bouncy castle. Molly and Nancy were saying, ”Good job,” and cheering for me then it was my turn again. I ran as and fast as a rocket. I zoomed over the long white pipe.  I did not make it so I had to sit down with Molly, Nia, Brodee and Nancy.
My Mum had it wrong so I had another turn. This time, it was out of Darian, Jaimee, Hunter-Rose and me. Darian did not make it. I had to make it. If I did not make it, I would've lost high jump. I  was breathing hard and I  was confident that I was going to make the jump. I ran as fast as I could. I did the scissors kick over the bar. I made it and I came 3rd place. Everyone was screaming because I  came 3rd place.

Next, we ran to  long jump. Mrs  Ashton showed us how to do it. Daneka ran first. If I went first, I would be nervous. It was my turn. I was like a tiger chasing and jumping for its prey.  I hit the ground like an elephant that was overweight. My distance was 2.32 metres. After Molly, Cameron, Drew, Alex and Richard went, it was back to my turn. I started to blitz it. I made it and I came 2nd.

It was a fun day, but I was very tired when I got home.
