Our Athletics team took part in the first of our competitions last week and they did very well.

We were in a group with Kilmalcolm Primary, St Ninian’s, St Joseph’s and St Mary’s Primaries.

Our boys’ team came first and our girls’ team came first which meant we won overall.

We took part in lots of different events and had lots of success in them.

In the boys’ event we won the following events, Vertical Jump where Alan Roxburgh had the best jump of the day. Scott Marshall also had the best jump in the Standing Long Jump and Lewis Gillan had the fastest time in the Hi-Stepper.

In the girls event we won the following events, Over & Under Obstacle race, 1+1 Relay race, 2+2 Relay race, Hi-Stepper, Standing Long Jump, Standing Triple Jump and Vertical Jump. Morgan Bailey had the best throw in the Javelin and Claire Steele had the best time in the Hi-Stepper and the best Vertical Jump.

We also won the Reserves race.
