“They have really improved because I could tell they have a better technique when passing runners ahead of them,” he says.
Vilakazi says that the run was part of their training for a run in Krugersdorp on 2 February.
“We are hoping they will do well because should they be placed in the top three, they will go on to the next round in Stellenbosch on a date that still has to be announced should they qualify,” He concludes.
