In a small English town, there is an annual race for students. The participants come in all shapes and sizes, and each has their unique qualities. As part of an interview with a local newspaper, the organizers are describing the latest race and the contenders. Jodie was astonished by how the organizers used different adjectives to talk about the students. She noticed that some were being described as 'fast' and 'tall', while others as 'slow' and 'short'. It suddenly occurred to her that the adjectives used were all around her, on banners and in the conversations she overheard. Jodie realised that these adjectives were crucial in helping people understand the students' performance and appearance. She decided to make a list of these adjectives and sort them into two groups that would best describe the students. According to the story, what are the key adjectives used to describe the students in the race, and how would Jodie categorize them based on their meaning?
