Super Springy

Roo went off to the Inter Schools Athletics Competition at the Don Buck Stadium in Henderson, in the shadow of the Trust Stadium. He had to wait till the afternoon session to compete, and had eaten all his lunch by about 10.30.


The day was wet and overcast, although the rain held off for his event. He successfully jumped his first three heights but then the length of his legs became more important than his technique. The winning height was about 1.20m, rather high for a nine year old. Still Roo is about the 9th best high jumper for his age in West Auckland.


Well done him.
