Quinn's Athletics Day

Friday was Quinn's annual school inter-house Athletics Day.

Like last year I managed to sneak out of work for long enough to attend to watch.

He was placed with the Under 7s - so with mostly Grade 1s. (The school is good about putting kids in their correct age group for competing physically, and I think that is fair. So of his class most are in the Under 8s, Quinn is Under 7 and there are 2 boys in the Under 9 category).

he came about 4th last, but ran well and tried hard. He is still a bit more concerned with what's going on around him than trying to win though, so he is not hugely competitive.

Here are some photos of the day. Waiting for his race...
Lined up and ready to go...
And away they go...
Sprinting to the finish...
All over.
