Primary Level 2 Indoor Athletics

Straight after the secondary competition we had the primary level 2 indoor athletics where we had even more young people attend we had 134 students attend over 11 schools! All ready for an afternoon of indoor athletics.

The events for the primary competition are slightly different on the field as we changed the shot put event to the chest push where we saw some very good scores! Same as the secondary event the girls took the track first while the boys started their events in the field and vice versa.

All of the leaders throughout the day were more than happy to demonstrate a number of different events such as the obstacle race and the triple jump, some of the primary school children had never done the triple jump before but after one practice they were jumping just as far as the secondary school athletes!

The atmosphere was amazing every athlete was either busy attempting to gain vital points for their schools or stood cheering for their friends as they were trying their best to win their event!

After a jam packed afternoon of athletics the results were as follows:

Bickleigh down- 452 points

Elburton- 438 points

Woodford- 376 points

Montpelier- 344 points

Widey Court- 306 points

Salisbury Road- 300 points

Whitleigh- 284 points

Pomphlett- 210 points
