SES Sports Bulletin Girls Athletics - Dubai College The Dubai Athletics Championships, held at Dubai College, took place on Thursday 14th March. This is the first time in a few years that the girls have reached the qualifying times expected to make it through, so that in itself was an achievement. On the run up to competition the girls took part in lots of training at lunch times and after school in order to reach the standard expected of them. On the day everyone was extremely nervous but also excited. The competitions started at 12.30 pm. Michelle, representing the under 12s, was the first up on the track. She did extremely well and made it through to the finals. Throughout the day the girls’ performances were at an extremely high level, showing dedication to the team. Sarah, Hannah, Taya, Kopano and Kleri all walked away with first place awards, which is an amazing achievement for them and the school. Overall, out of all the teams entered, Sharjah English School walked away with 5th place, a brilliant achievement which shows hard work does work. A very well done to all the girls who competed;each and every one of them contributed to that brilliant result.
I really enjoyed the day. I felt as a team we did extremely well and should be proud of what we have achieved. Everyone who competed did so well and should be so very proud! I just cannot wait till next year’s event. Chiara year 9 It was loads of fun and we were really good, much better than I thought. To come first in both of my events made me feel amazing, I’m still in shock from it. Well done to the whole team, everyone was brilliant. It shows what hard work can achieve. Sarah Year 9 26
