Athletics
on Wednesday the 16th of September
On
Wednesday the 16th of September the Senior Prep. athletes attended
their first athletics meeting of the year which included the Junior Prep.
learners who had already participated in previous meetings. When the athletes
arrived they showed great discipline and respect to all those around them. The
athletes were running against St Paulus, Tyger Valley College and Loreto School
Queenswood. The first track sport was the 1200 m and our first runner who broke
the ice was Horia.
A few of the runners from the Senior Prep. who ran this
difficult race were:
U/13
- Horia
U/12
- Masi, Lesego, Eric and Lerato
U/11
- Lwazi, Christian and Renee
U/10
- Joel, Khetiwe and Paballo
We
also participated in: High Jump, Long Jump, Shotput, 80m Sprints and Relays.
Some
of the athletes who participated in these events were:
High
Jump: Nisi, Horia, Daniella
Long
Jump: Bailey, Masi, Ndza and Nicole
Shotput:
Nokwanda, Bruce, Mahima, Khanya.S, Mfundo, Daniella and Delaray
80m
sprints: Nicole, Erin, Horia, Gugu
Masi,
Refilwe, Josephine, Aidan, Lerato
Luyanda,
Lithe, Luc
Khanya,
Bianca, Ethan
The
last event of the day was what seemed to be the event the athletes were waiting
for the whole day, relays!
The U/10 girls had to run twice because the first time
they ran they didn’t have the batons and so they had to run at the end again.
All the teams ran well especially our senior U/13 team. Even though the girls
didn’t pull out a victory, our four runners Nicole, Erin, Daniella and Mfundo
pushed and tried their best showing a lot of determination coming third. Our
U/13 boys however happened to be the only relay team to pull out a victory. The
runners for this team were Nisi, Horia, Thabiso and Gugu. Even though not
everyone won, I think they all won their own race by achieving their own goals
which is most important and the athletes had a good time.
I can’t wait to see
what the athletes do next time!
