Track and Field

Track and Field is coming up on just 2 days!

I feel that as a team we have worked really hard in order to achieve our endurance for the actual competition (March 25-27).

I have improved quite a lot in my field events that I will be doing which means I will do well in the actual competition. I have been able to beat my personal records during training which means my goals have been fulfilled.

For long jump, high jump, 100m and 200m I beat my personal records.

• Long jump I jumped 4.50m
• High jump I jumped 1.35m
• 100m 14.31sec
• 200m 30.23 sec

I really hope that we all do well in New Delhi and that we are a competative and strong team!


My goals for the competition are:

1. Help a team member if they need advice
2. Cheer for everyone
3. Do my best

These goals will be acheived during the tournament, so for now I can't write anything else about Track and Field.

Bethlehem Creche

Since last month I have been taking part in the Bethlehem Creche on thursday afternoons for community service. The Bethlehem Creche is a community and service program that focuses on helping children in a kindergarten school in Battaramulla. It is a great oppurtunity for me to help children in my community to get a better life and to interact with them. We have only visited the school once, and it seems as though they need to paint the play ground, get some new equiptment and a safer environment for the children; because of this all member of this CAS are going to have a fund raiser at the food and fun fair which will be this Saturday (March 12th). We will be selling cotton candy, have face painting and balloon figures which we will sell for a suitable price. We will then use that money to get equiptment and things to improve the school. Maheshi and me have also become two of the main leaders, so we will have to help everyone and keep everything organized.

Track & Field

For the past 2 weeks I have been attending all the track and field practices. This has really helped me to build up my endurance. I have also oficially made the team which was one of my goals. This year the track and field is going to be in New Delhi, India. Before we go there I really want to improve my high jump, long jump and shot put skills since those will be some of the events I will be taking part in.


The events that the coach want me to take part in are:
-100m
-400m
-800m
-high jump
-shot put
-both relays (100x4 and 400x4)


I am not really a long distance runner which is why i would have prefered to have done just 100m and 200m but I guess I will have to challenge myself and try some longer distance. I also want to do long jump since that is one of my best events, but will see how it goes.


I really hope that I will be at my top when we go for the actual competition because I want to do my best and beat my personal records.
