This year the school decided not to award positions - so it was fair to all. Can't say I agree with that but for Ela she did get the opportunity to really compete as kids who were turning 8 this year from year 2 could compete with the stage 2 kids (years 3 and 4) and compete for a place in the zone finals.
Ela did awesome, winning her heat way ahead of the others and then coming 2nd overall in the final! Well done Ela. She is still to hear if her time is fast enough to go to the Zones but either way she was pleased as punch (as were we).
It was a freezing cold day so the kids had a lot more fun than the parents watching!
