The High Jump

The nine year old group all jogged up to the high jump. I was nervous and determined to win.
“Ok let’s get started.”
“Daniel you’re up.”
He jogged up. 12..123. He jumped up but hit the bar with bang!
“Ok Timu.”
I sprinted up to the towering high jump. 12..123. Yes I made it!! I sit down behind the orange cone.
I saw Leeym Gus and Storm do their jump. Bang bang bang went the bar as it fell to the ground.
“Good try you guys”.
“See ya at the pool”.
Now I’m the only one standing. I can't get shot down.
Last chance I got to get this right. 12..123. Crash! No!! I didn’t make it.
I went over to the lady and got my athletics card signed.
Time to go swimming. Maybe next year I’ll do better.

I felt a bit disappointed in high jump but I felt proud of my self with my other events.
