Several participants got injured in the training, but they did not care about it. The only thing that they really care was to do their best and win honor for their school.

As a matter of course, in this event, some of them ran as fast as a speeding bullet, and others were as light as air in long jump, tabbing and rope skipping. Their excellent performance gave rise to a lot of applause.

On the spot, both participants and audience were filled with passion. Wave after wave of applause and cheers spread among the crowd, the cheering squad in particular.
