“BANG” My race had started. My heart was pounding and my hands were sweaty but I was ready to run as fast as I could. I started sprinting as hard and fast as possible but unfortunately I came second to last which was bad but all that mattered was that I tried really hard. Right in the middle of the race I heard one of my good mates shouting, “GOOO ELAINE!!!” So I started running faster and faster until I hit the end of the finishing line. 

After I got off the track I went to see my mates in the grandstand and they all congratulated me on trying my hardest and giving it a go. Some moments later after having something to eat I went to go see some of my other friends race and they were incredible. One of my friends came second in the 100m sprint so that meant she was going to the finalist race and I was so proud of her. One of my other friends would have come third if he hadn’t fallen over so because he fell he came in fourth but I didn’t care. He was still outstanding and probably the fastest runner in my friend group. 

After eating and playing with my friends on the grandstand I had to go to discus and it was quite incredible because I came in fourth which still wasn’t first but I didn’t mind. I was still proud of myself because again, I gave it a go and it turned out to be amazing. I had discus with one of my friends and they came in third so I was very amazed at how excited  they were.

My next and last activity was shot put and I didn’t really excel at that but honestly I didn’t really care because I did the best that I could in everything that i signed up for and it ended out being incredible because I knew where I was at for running and so I could get better and maybe one day become first in 100m sprint.

After all the events that happened everyone gathered up in the grandstand to watch the teachers race and to watch the finalists but most importantly, hear who one 2022 Athletics day. I went down and out of the grandstand to watch my friend race in the finalist race and she did amazing but after that was the announcement of which house won athletics 2022!!!!!! “IN FOURTH PLACE IS… GREEN” everyone started clapping and I started worrying. Worrying because I didn’t know if my house would come first, second or third. “IN THIRD PLACE COMES BLUE!!!!” And yet again everyone started clapping and my heart started pounding yet again but this time a little faster. “AND IN FIRST PLACE, THE HOUSE WHO HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING, CAN WE GET A DRUMROLL  PLEASE AND CONGRATULATIONS TO YELLOW!!!!” Everyone started clapping and yelling, so then I turned to my friends who are in red and did my victory dance. (They we’re SO happy)
