Athletics at Priesthorpe is one of the main summer sports you do at school.

Athletics is really fun, and near the end of the year there will be a sports day. That is the biggest sporting event that the school organises - the whole school takes part.

Here are some events in athletics:

Running:
100m
200m
300m
400m
800m
1500m
Relay
Throwing:
Javelin
Discus
Shot put
Jumping:
Long jump
High jump
Triple jump

If you are really good, you could break a record for your year on Sports Day!
I would say athletics is one of the best sports in the whole world!! (as well as the school!)
