Hoërskole Ben Viljoen, Ellisras, Frikkie Meyer, Hans Strijdom, Nylstroom, Piet Potgieter and Warmbad arrived in the early hours of the morning dressed in their respective signature colours.
Each school was backed up by their cheer-leaders, who gave their support in the form of chanting, dance and song, each gunning for a special trophy in this regard.

Hoërskool Ellisras emerged the overall winners, after the schools’ athletes achieved an incredible 663 points as a collective.

Frikkie Meyer scooped the prize for the best cheer-leaders, with Ben Viljoen the runners-up, with the third prize going to Warmbad.

Athletes from hosts Hoërskool Warmbad were awarded a special prestige prize.

Hans Strijdom were last year’s prizewinners in the latter category.
