So I'm combining all the field events into one chapter (not because I don't respect field events. My main track event is a field event!) because they all take place at the same time so just imagine Will and Gilan suddenly gain the ability to be in multiple places at once, but they don't tell anyone about it or talk about it at all and they only use it to help their track team. Yeah.

Field Events

"So…The field events are all at one time?" Will asked once more.

"Yes, for the thirteenth time!" The man said, quite rudely.

"Sorry for wanting clarification! You work here, you're supposed to help!" Will yelled at the man.

"I don't work here!" The man yelled back.

Gilan intervened before this could go any farther. "Will, we really need to be at every single one of the field events right now."

"Right." Will responded, removing his focus from the man and onto the quite monumental task him and Gilan had ahead of them.

Shot Put

"So we just have to throw this ball thing as far as we can?" Will asked a person on Mr. Halt's brother's team when it was his turn t throw.

"Yeah." The guy responded with an eye roll.

"Okay. That seems easy enough."

"It seemed easy enough the first two times you asked as well." The guy muttered to himself.

Will ended up throwing the shot put exactly 5.9 feet. He placed sixth though, because there were only seven total throwers and Gilan used his shot to try and peg a bird and ended up almost killing one of the guys on Mr. Halt's brother's team. He was okay, though, so Gilan didn't see why they had to disqualify him.

Discus

"Yay, Frisbee!" Will yelled. "Gilan, catch!" Will yelled before throwing his discus into the assembled crowd of discus throwers.

They both got disqualified this time.

Long Jump

"Why are field events so simple?" Will asked no one in particular. "Seriously, throwing, jumping. What's next, breathing?"

Will ended up scratching twice and falling backwards on the only jump that actually counted, so he didn't get a very long jump.

Gilan actually ended up with first place because he has really long legs, and they can't be terrible at everything!

Triple Jump

Neither of the two were able to successfully figure out exactly what the three jumps were and they scratched on all of their jumps.

High Jump

"Why is there so much jumping?" Will whined. "It's not fair to the short people!"

Gilan shrugged absently. He was too busy watching the other jumpers warming up, trying to figure out what the correct form was. After watching a few jumps, he decided that they were both pretty much screwed because he couldn't figure it out, and if he couldn't, Will certainly couldn't.

Despite not having a single clue what he was doing, Gilan still managed to get fourth because he's pretty tall and all of the other jumpers were total noobs.

These included Will, who didn't quite jump in time and ran into the height-thingy, twisting his ankle. He didn't continue with the competition.

Pole Vault

Will and Gialn looked at the pit. Then they looked at their really long poles. Then they looked at each other.

"Um…." They said in unison.

Gilan put his pole on the ground. "I don't quite feel like dying today."

Will did the same. "Me either."

Current Standings:

Mr. Halt's brother's Team: 84 points

Crowley's Team: 79 points

Halt's Team: 15 points

So Mr. Halt's brother is currently winning. I'm not entirely sure I have the points system right, but I'm way too lazy to look it up so we'll just assume that that is how the points system works in Araluen.
