More Sports

After our students competed in their inter-house sports day, they were given a second chance to demonstrate their athletic prowess. Today we had our inter-school sports day. It was a long walk to Wynburg-Allen School, but it was a fun day of competition.

In general, Woodstock does very poorly against the other schools in Mussoorie. They spend a lot more time training than we do and it shows. One area where we make a very poor showing is the march-past. At the beginning of sports day, each school marches past the stands where the honored guests sit. This is, apparently, a very important part of Indian athletics competitions. You can compare the marching performance of the girls from Waverly to our Woodstock kids in the video below.

At least we can take comfort in the fact that our school was recently named the best international school in India for the second year in a row. Who needs athletics...
