= = = South West Zones Athletics =

By Jasmine Latavao
On Wednesday the 3rd of November the top 27 year six students of Addington school went to the South West Zones Athletics at Hillmorton High School. Schools from everywhere were there to try to get their athletes into the Central Athletics. Most people had to stay there for the whole day because there were many different events.

The competitors from Addington School found that the students from other schools were really hard to compete against because they were really good. Most schools travelled to the event by buses, vans and cars. Only first and second place getters went to the Central Athletics competition held at QEII on the first of December 2009. The competition was hard at the Centrals because there was schools from all over Canterbury competing.

Only one girl from represented Addington at the centrals in the field of shotput, she placed 6th. The first and second place getters from each event will go to the athletics zones in the north island later in the year.
