Football was super awesome! There were penalty shootouts and everything, and it was so exciting to watch . I was always on my toes, and I couldn't believe how intense it got. I mean, it was just so cool to witness the tension and excitement unfold before our eyes. I felt like I was right there in the middle of all the action, and it was just amazing to see all the players giving it their all.

Relays

The relay race was the last event of the day, and the excitement in the air was palpable. The entire school had gathered to watch, and the teams were filled with nervous energy as they waited for their turn to take the baton. The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm glow over the field as the first runners lined up at the starting line.
