Today we headed to Dollar Academy for an afternoon in the sun of Athletics. Our first athletics meet of the year and some great practice for Friday’s sports day.
With a strong Cargilfield squad, all selected on merit based on their athletics results gathered since the beginning of term. We started with the 80m sprints. This was a particularly successful event in the girls F7 race with Jess, Scarlett and Tessa all competing. All the girls had a great race with Jess finishing very strongly in first place with a time of 12.35. In the 200m we again had a fast representative with Tunrayo coming in first with a time of 32.75.
