Athletics day is a story about two friends who were fascinated about a girl named Keri who was a very athletic & sporty type of person. The two friends had discussed a lot about Keri and what she was good at, she was good at a variety of things but it was running that she was best at.  Mel (one of the friends) had seen Keri run at the inter-schools last year and reckoned it was a real thrill just to watch her. In fact Mel was so astonished and amazed by Keri that she got poetic about it and had compared Keri to a wild African animal (cheetah) running free
