Pentathlon at Massey Athletics Track April 2011

Pentathlon 6 April 2011 on PhotoPeach



Ten children aged 7 years to 10 years were selected to attend Round 3 of a pentathlon held at the Massey Track and represent Lytton Street School. These children were picked from our LSS Standards and Championship days. They competed in five events: 60m, 400m, Long Jump, Shot Put and Discus.
We were fortunate enough to have 8 of the athletes receive a certificate for coming 1st, 2nd or 3rd overall in their age group. A real credit to the competitiveness in which they competed on the day.
The hardest event was the 400m as it was the last event and also it is not an event we do at our own athletics. It was a privlege to see none of our athletes give up when running the 400m. They definitely deserved their lunch after this.
A great day, lots of success and ten happy but tired athletes.
