This afternoon, Year Five and Year Six pupils made their way to St. Ives to take part in the Huntingdonshire Schools Sports Partnership’s Quad Kids Competition. Quad Kids is an athletics combined event, like the decathlon and heptathlon. The athletes each took part in the following four events: 600m run, 75m sprint, standing long jump, and howler throw. Each athlete’s times and distance are converted to points which accumulate to make the team’s score.
Our Team A consisted of: Elise H, Yuliia C, Amelia C, Poppy A, Leo T, David E, Charlie B, and Daniel S.
Our Team B were: Beau Z, Isabella O, Francesca L, Ava B, Callum N, Matthew H, Josh T, and Jack C.
The children battled hard in all their events, and showed great sportsmanship by cheering on their team-mates as well as athletes from other schools.
After a long and tiring day, we were rewarded with Team A finishing a fantastic first place, and Team B finishing a brilliant Third place. This is an exceptional result if we keep in mind that there was also a competition in the morning and nearly 350 children took part throughout the day. The results from both the morning and afternoon competitions were combined to give the overall results.
An extra special mention goes to Yuliia who won the individual girls’ competition.
