25 June 2010 saw the annual Leckford Place Athletics Sports Day, held at Tilsley Park in Abingdon.
It was a glorious day for a fun-packed festival of sporting talent – appreciated by a sizeable crowd of spectators. The morning focused on field events, with competitors taking part in the javelin, shot putt, discus, high and long jump. There were many outstanding performances; special mentions must go to Sam Gillingham with a throw of 37.5m in the Year 8 Javelin, and Ben Elwell throwing 11.21m in the discus.
The track events took place in the afternoon and saw some very competitive races at each distance.
Outstanding students of the day were Tess O’Shea receiving 4 gold medals, Cassandra Pearce receiving 5 gold medals, and Sam Gillingham receiving 5 gold medals. The victorious House, meanwhile, was Windrush.
Congratulations to all who took part in the competition, and thanks to all staff who helped officiate and to parents for coming to spectate.
