Athletics Day

When I was eight years old, our school had an Athletics Day. We all competed in lots of events, like High Jump, Long Jump, Vortex, Shot Put, Discus and Sprints.First, the 8 years old girls did the high jump. It was the first thing we did. The mat was a blue soft mat. It started low. When the pole got higher, we ran but it fell down. I hurt my ankle. It really hurt. Emily G came 1st, Paige came 2nd and I came 3rd.
Next, the 8 years old girls and boys did the long jump. It was on the soft sand. It had a mat. The mat was blue, green, orange and yellow. Mrs Ashton said to run to the green, orange and yellow, and jump on the blue. I came 1st, Emily G came 2nd and Paige came 3rd, James came 1st, Jackson came 2nd and Nathanael came 3rd.
Finally, we went to Sprints. The 8 years old girls got ready to start. Mr Emms said, "On your marks, get set, go! Bam! went the gun. I could hear the birds singing, "Tie tie tie." I could hear my hate, "BTH BTH BTH BTH." 
I came 1st.  I beat the girls. Emily G came 2nd. She beat Paige. Paige come 3rd. She beat Eden and Lara. We did another race. It was the same as the 1st race. It was the last race. I came 1st again. I beat all of the girls. It was a fun day, but I was very tired when I got home from school that afternoon.
