OUR CHAMP OF CHAMPS

SATURDAY the 3rd of March, the day that athletes form all schools in the southern hemisphere who have been practicing for, “the Southern zonal alethic competition”,  took place at Athlone Stadium in Vygieskraal. Our eight athletes that  were able to make it through after competing in the previous Thursday’s gruelling and very tough tournament at the Bellville Veladrome. We are so proud of them for making it this far and were able to compete representing not only themselves but also the school at this event. The athletes were all excited and nervous for the day’s event and Ms Alexander said that “that they must just do their best and try their hardest” (she seemed even as excited as most of the athletes).  Well after the days running, jumping and throwing, though not everyone could make it through we were very proud of them and even more proud of those that made it to the next competition on Saturdays the 10^th of march “again” at the Bellville Veladrome and maybe have a chance for going to Westen province, so we wish them the best and do our school proud and we know you can do anything if you just put mind to it.
