“It’s a fun day to compete with your classmates,” added Adam Blackmore.
Athletic Director Lee Woodward said, “There’s incredible effort by all the athletes today. Because children often excel at an individual sport, this is a good exhibition of those individual skills. The weather is nice and they are enjoying themselves. It is just about participating and is great to see the kids running, jumping and throwing.”
