Boys and girls at the 100 Mile House Elementary School competed in the school's intermediate track-and-field event on May 26-27.
Boys and girls age 10-13, competed in various events, including distance running, long and high jumps, shot put and relay.
The competitors brought all they had on to the field, but were still supportive of classmates. Students were constantly cheering runners on during the several distance races.
School vice-principal Mike Brogan applauded the students for their commitment to the events.
“Everyone is having a great time and it's awesome to see these kids compete even if it isn't their favourite sport.”
The event had to be extended to May 27 due to extensive rain in the afternoon on May 26.
Winners are noted from first to third.
