Ella and I made our way over to Perth for the weekend. Ella was travelling with the ACT Schools Athletics Team to compete at the National Schools Athletics Champs. I was travelling solo....
Ella qualified to compete in Hammer, Discus and Javelin as an U17 and the events were nicely spread out one event per day.
Mum and I made our way to Challenge Stadium, the newish stadium that replaced Perry Lakes to watch Ella compete in her first event - discus. It was the first time I had been at this stadium and was impressed by how nice it was. We found a spot on the grassy slope in the shade.
Ella threw 28.43m and was disappointed to be several metres behind her best. She placed 8th from the a field of 9. The winner, a girl from NSW who Ella often competes against, threw 50m and was well out in front.
Post event we took Mum home as she was exhausted. We made a beeline to Port Beach to cool off before returning Ella back to the team at the stadium.
