This year the Inter High Athletics was hosted by Kanonkop High School in

  Witbank.  The atletics meeting started with the long hurdles and this year

   our athletes did exceptionally well in the hurdles event.  We want to thank

   Mrs R Eksteen for coaching these events.

 

   Our most outstanding during this meeting was Lesedi Matlala that won the

    Junior Victrix Ludorum.  She achieved the highest ASA total of all the junior

    girls in three  events.

 

    Other athletes that also won trophies were Vivian Beukes,  who won gold

     medals in the 400m, 800m and 1500m.  He was crowned the best middle

     distance athlete during this meeting and showed why he has the best fight-

     ing spirit during his races.   Jael Nhamunde won the triple jump for girls

     u/17 with a distance of 8,99m, but what made her victory so great was that

     she only learned how to do the triple jump that morning.  She then went on

     to be crowned the best long jump / triple jump athlete.  Shingirai Nyangane

     known fondly as "The Beast" won the boys u/16 Shotput with a great distan-

     ce of 12,23m and earned him the trophy for the best shotput result during

     this meeting.

 

      Other athletes we can also mention are Lonwabo Ludaka, an u/16 boy,

      that ran a great 110m Hurdles race and Madibolo Segane who achieved

      in the 400m hurdles and a lot more.

 

      This year we achieved 23 1st places,  27  2nd places and 26 3rd places to

       place us second overall.

 

       This is the first time our boys and girls did so well at this meeting.  Our

        school placed second in the overall results.

 

       Thank you to all the officials and athletes for working together to make

        our school great.

 

 

        NEXT YEAR WE ARE GOING

                       FOR GOLD!!
