A group of Year 9 pupils took part in the Sports Hall Indoor Athletics competition at Ballysillan Leisure Centre. Each boy had to take part in individual running races and relays as well as field events. With stiff opposition from Grosvenor Grammar School, the boys gave 100% in each event.
The running events included 2 lap, 4 lap and 6 lap races with the best performance coming from Marcus Beattie (9A2) who came 1st in the 6-lap race. Other good performances came from Thomas Kinner and Michael Haskins.
The boys had to compete in all 5 field events, which included speed bounce, vertical jump, standing long jump, triple jump, and shot. Everyone tried really hard, with pleasing results for Jaymee Bell, Curtis Bell, Marcus Beattie, Nathan Dunn and Kelvin Lee.
The final events were the relays, which are always good fun and our boys showed great determination in each race. Jaymee Bell and Marcus Beattie managed to find the strength to race in all 3 relays with superb performances in each.
Each boy was presented with a medal at the end of the competition.
