City Athletics Championships

Here is our Oakwood City Championships team. We competed in all the track and field events held at the sports centre and had a wonderful day - it was even sunny and warm too!

City Athletics Championships

Team Oakwood went to the Outdoor Sports Centre on Tuesday to take part in the annual City Athletics Championships. 20 schools competed in the all day event, with some of the best athletes in the City competing.

Team Oakwood performed well and picked up some excellent results. The boys team picked up 15 points -enough for 9th place. Whilst the girls team earned 30 points (just 2 points shy of coming 2nd) for 4th place.

A combined Team Oakwood 45 points was enough for 6th place! Another solid performance at the City Athletics against some much bigger Southampton schools.

Well done to all our competitors but special mentions to our new City Champions  - Edward, Sunny-Rose and Praise.

Year 5 and Year 6 Indoor Athletics

Wow! We are so lucky at Oakwood to have such amazing athletes! Have a look at some of them in action at the City Indoor Athletics.

City Athletics Championships

Today was one of the biggest days in the City's school sport calendar. The City Athletics Championship.

It was an absolutely glorious day of weather, and that seemed to bring the best out of the children competing. A whole number of City records were broken - one twice. 

Although we do not yet know where the Oakwood teams finished (but we know it wasn't the top three) we do know that once again we had a very successful day. We now have more City Champions than ever.

Most track events had heats, followed by finals: the first three finishers from each heat progressing to the final. The long distance and field events were straight out finals - a fight for the gold. 

Whilst everybody who represented Oakwood deserves a special mention, as they did the school proud, there are a few names I will list who made the podium in their events.

Ethan - Gold - Y3 boys 60m
Praise - Gold - Y3/4 girls throwing
Marcus - Gold - Y5 boys 80m
Amy - Gold - Y5 girls 80m
Ethan/Robbie/Jola/Marcus - Silver - Y5/6 boys 4x100m Relay
Owen - Silver - Y5/6 boys 600m
Shannon - Silver - Y5/6 girls triple jump
Robbie - Bronze - Y6 boys 80m
Jola - Bronze - Y6 boys 150m

Well done to everyone who went today and represented Team Oakwood!

City Athletics Championships

On Tuesday, 21 Athletes from Oakwood went to the City Athletics Championships at the Sports Centres athletics track.

Oakwood were looking to follow up last years 3rd place with another good competition. However injuries and and a few missing athletes meant the team were up against it from the start. There was also the small matter of the other 15 schools who wanted to lift that winning trophy too.

During the day the team did pick up some superb results. Both Y4 60m sprinters became City champions, with one of them setting a new City record in the process! Y5 and Y6 athletes also picked up 2nd place certificates in the sprints.

The results are now in! The girls team finished in 9th place, whilst the boys managed 4th. When all the points were combined Team Oakwood ended up in 4th place. An excellent result yet again! Well done team!
