On Sunday 29th January a team of 14 children, 9 boys and 5 girls went to Guildford Spectrum to compete in an indoor sportshall event. Each athlete did 3 running events and 3 field events over the course of the afternoon. The girls kicked off the afternoon with the obstacle relay finishing 3rd and then it was the boys turn, who were obviously inspired by the girls performance, racing to an excellent first place. All the athletes worked incredibly hard and it was a real team effort, there were some excellent performances over the afternoon particularly form the girls who unfortunately due to injury and illness had a depleted team. A big thank you to the parents who volunteered to help officiate for the afternoon.

On November 13th we took 7 boys and 4 girls from Walton Academy to the indoor sportshall competition at Guildford Spectrum.
The competition consisted of running, throwing and jumping and obstacle events. Each child competed in 3 running events and 3 field events.
Everyone did brilliantly and had a fun and competitive afternoon. The boys came 5th overall and the girls came 7th. The boys scored particularly well in the standing long jump, standing triple jump, balance test and high stepper race. The girls’ best events were the 2 x 2 lap race and the 4 x 2 lap race.
Well done to all the Walton athletes that competed.
We are looking forward to the next competition on January 29th.
