Athletics is the general name for sports involving running, walking, jumping, or throwing. These are the oldest known sports, and have been contested for centuries. There are 23 Athletics events for women in the Summer Olympics, so we met at a local track to complete a few.
First up was the 100m sprint. This is one of the most popular and prestigious events at the Olympics, and the goal is around 10 seconds. We lined up at the starting line on the track, and the finish line looked so far away. We did not time ourselves, but it is safe to say we were not close to 10 seconds.
We also did the 200m, the 400m, the 800m, and the two relays - the 4x100m and 4x400m.

We finished off the evening with the 1500m. Not all of us are runners, and none of us are sprinters, but we got out there and ran anyway.
