Lambeth College Olympics
Athletes: Students took part in a range of events at our Sports Day in Tooting.
May 2006
The pouring rain and hailstones couldn’t dampen the high spirits of Lambeth College’s students in May as our Annual Sports Day got underway at Tooting Bec Athletics ground. With the 2012 London Olympic games as inspiration the students rose to the challenge in a range of events that included long jump, 100m hurdles, 100m and 200m sprint, relay races, 5-a-side football, an egg and spoon race and even a welly throwing competition. There was also an added attraction this year in the form of a bucking bronco. Participants took it in turns to see who could spend the longest time in the saddle as the bull would buckaroo in all directions.
The event was jointly organised by the Student Development Officers, Sports staff and the Student Union. Danny Smith, one of the organisers, said: “Despite the occasional downpour the students still participated in all the events and we had some very exciting races and games.”
Over 70 students took part in the games and medals were awarded to the winners.
Lambeth College has teams in various different sports including football, basketball, netball, and cricket.
