I have been chosen to:

 

Run the 800 metres

 

Jump the long jump

 

And now Ive been chosen to do the high jump!

 

But the good thing is that with the jumps i need to get into the top 8 in my yeargroup (hope not) to do it at sports day.

 

Aaaaaaah! If anyone knows how to do the long jump please tell me in a comment .

First you have to find your mark. Do that my sprinting 7 strides out from the scratch line. Usually it helps to have a friend watch and count so that he can tell you where your foot landed on the seventh stride. Your mark is where you start from. Sprint 7 strides and on 7, jump as far as you can landing on both feet. Usually helps to throw your arms back when you jump. Also, falling backwards is bad. They mark from the farthest back imprint you leave in the dirt. Also not good then to walk backwards out of the pit.

Thanks, I appreciate the help :)
