There was intense competition among Clackmannanshire primary pupils at the Clackmannanshire Primary Schools Sports Association (CPSSA) Athletics Championships held at the Grangemouth Stadium on Tuesday 28 May. Every one of the 19 primary schools were represented with a total of 600 pupils from P6 and P7 participating.
This is the sixth year this event has taken place at the excellent facility at Grangemouth. The track events included the 100m, 200m, 400m and a 4x100m relay. The field events consisted of long jump, high jump and turbo javelin. For the second year the event had an ASN section in which 10 athletes competed in the 60m walk, 100m sprint, javelin and long jump.
This year the event saw four Clackmannanshire records broken:
Throughout the event athletes accumulated points for their school and trophies were awarded to the winning and runner up schools. This year the school team first overall was Alva Primary (101 points) but they were pushed all the way by Sunnyside Primary (97 points). Third in the team event was Strathdevon Primary (76 points), and fourth was Craigbank Primary (67 points).
On the day Lesley Robertson, Education Service Manager presented medals and shields and said, "This is a great turn out, I am delighted to see all of Clackmannanshire's primary schools represented today. The children enjoyed a really positive experience and it is a credit to Clackmannanshire Council's Sports Development team that this event was so well organised. The children themselves have obviously been working hard over the last few months to prepare, and my congratulations go to them, their teachers and coaches because they behaved wonderfully and performed to a very high standard."
Also in attendance was Liz Francis, Sportcentral Athletics Development Manager who commented: "It was a delight to be at this event. I was so impressed by the standard of performance. The participants' determination and drive shown throughout each event was there for all to see and personally I thought that there was a lot of promising potential on show. I hope they will continue to develop as athletes."
Thanks go to all the coaches, teachers, volunteers, athletics officials and sports development staff who trained the pupils in the lead up, and those who helped at the event.
This summer for those interested in athletics there are the Norwich Union Star:Track weeks 7-11 July and 28 July-1 August. Anyone interested in this or athletics in general can contact Ryan Martin on 10259 222355.
