HNI Inter-House athletics day

The day got off to a cool start although we weren't shrouded in fog like last year.
However, as the day wore on the sun came out and we ended up with warm, pleasant weather.  The Houses assembled and moved through their rotations of 100m, 200m, shotput, discus, high jump, vortex throw, long jump and the much-needed rest area.
The day ended with the much-anticipated 32x100m relay race.  Houses were organised into teams of 16 girls and 16 boys, running along the 100m track and exchanging the baton.  The lead changed several times as fast runners overtook slower ones or, as happened all to frequently, a baton was dropped.  The cries from the teams made clear the anguish they felt as valuable seconds were lost.  Fortunately, T.K. showed it's true mettle and ran out worthy winners.
Now we just have to wait for the final individual and House results as assembly.
A school team has been chosen to compete at the SuperSix event at the Hastings Sports Park on 25thNovember.
