Wide Gumboot Throw
Wide Gumboot Throw
By: Gloria.L.H
I was sweating. My family was cheering like it was
meeting their favourite celebrity live in person. It
was my turn to throw the gumboot I picked up the
sweaty smelling red and black soul gumboot, it
looked fairly big and I could definitely slip my foot
inside with ease not that I would! I swang the
gumboot. Once. twice. I flies into the air at amazing
speed. 10 metres. 20 metres. 30 metres. 40 metres.
42.9 metres! I was amazed, and my ears was ringing
from claps and cheers, this was the first time I’ve
heard a crowd go as mad and wild as this. At the end
of the day my brother Bobby was cooking dinner
and my parents were congratulating me. I was
proud. Very very proud.
