Southampton City Primary Athletics Championships 2013

Despite the horrendous British weather the Oakwood Athletics team took part in the annual Southampton City Primary Athletics Championships at the Southampton Outdoor sports centre yesterday.

The children, teachers and a few brave parents endured the rain and wind to finish with Oakwood's best finish for a number of years. Last year, after several years of not competing Oakwood finished 10th with 25 points. This year the children have been training hard in PE lessons and in Athletics club and both the boys and girls team finished 3rd in their competitions, combining to give Oakwood a 4th place finish overall with a total of 79 points.

A huge well done to all 25 members of the team you did Oakwood proud. But special mention must go to Robbie, who became a City champion, for winning our only Gold medal.

If you would like to see the results in more detail come and have a look at our display in the Y5/6 shared area.
