Quadkids 2010

With fantastic weather and the perfect location yesterday saw the first ever Sir John Hunt School Sports Partnership Quadkids event and what an event it turned out to be.

With the athletes from all five teams being split into groups each in turn took part in all four events on a circuit style basis, some of which they found easier than others.

Each group took part in a 75m sprint, Vortex throw, standing long jump and a 600m endurance run and with the sun and heat beating down a welcome rest in between events was very much needed.

Each athlete competed to gain points for themselves, their school team and the chance to represent the partnership in the county finals, which will take place on Thursday 8 July in Exeter. Each time or distance was then converted into points using the Quadkids software and overall winners were announced.

In the individual competition the winners were:

75m Sprint – John C.and Summer Taylor

600m – Even Dunguay , Lucy Robinson and Summer Taylor

Vortex – Owen Aqualina and Lauren Rosevear

Long Jump – John C. and Summer Taylor

Overall –John C. and Summer Taylor

This meant that the final team scores were:

1st – Montpelier A  - 1512 points

2nd – Beechwood – 1461 points

3rd – Widewell A – 1246 points

4th – Montpelier B – 1196 points

5th – Widewell B – 646 points

Full results are available from the Quadkids website

Teams will now be selected for the county finals based on team and individual scores.

Well done to all involved including the athletes, leaders from Stoke Damerel, Sir John Hunt, Notre Dame and St Boniface who ran the events and partnership and armada forum staff.

Next year’s Quadkids event has been booked so a date for your diary is Wednesday 18 May 2011 1pm till 3pm, hope to see you all there.
