Our athletics programme was on in U.L. this year, and it finished in a tournament which took place on the 23rd of February. There were both track and field events. These are a few examples of the track events:

1+1 lap relay, 2 + 2 lap relay, 6 lap paarlauf, 4x1 lap relay, obstacle relay and the over/under relay.

The field events included:

the standing long jump, the standing triple jump, vertical jump, speed bounce, the chest push (1kg), and the soft javelin.
