Jan Fredelik van Zyl – Beste seuns atleet by die Clover atletiekbyeenkoms in Bloemfontein Jan Frederik is een van daardie atlete wat net aanhou presteer!
Hy het op Oktober 17, by die Clover Atletiekbyeenkoms in Bloemfontein deelgeneem. Hy was deel van die uitnodigingsspan van Pietermaritzburg. Daar was baie skole wat deelgeneem het, onder andere, Grey College, Pretoria Boys High, Waterkloof, Affies, Jim Fouche en Kempton Park. Jan Frederik het uitgeblink in die o/14 spiesgooi waar hy ‘n persoonlike beste afstand van 58.81m gegooi het. Hy het ‘n besonderse 945 punte op die ASA table behaal.
Jan Frederik was aangewys as die beste seuns atleet van die byeenkoms en sy prys was aan hom oorhandig deur Wade van Niekerk wat hierdie jaar 400m wêreldkampioen geword het. Dit is so ‘n spesiale ondervinding en die hoërskool is ongelooflik trots op hierdie jong man wat werklik bewys dat harde werk en passie altyd resultate lewer.
St Dominic’s bundu bash in Utrecht
The multisport team travelled to Utrecht to compete against other schools at the annual Bundu Bash held in Utrecht on October 17. DHS had a very successful day. The learners won many awards and they definitely had the most enthusiasm. The results were as follows:
Dustbuster Individual:
Gabby Carter, Joshua Donaldson and Phillip Mantin Stehr came first in their age groups. Nadia Raffenberg, Deandre Pillay and Dylan Marè came second in their age groups. Keaton von Rauenstein and Rebekka Bohmer came third in their age group. DHS completely dominated the U/15 and U/17 age groups, obtaining first, second and third prizes for both boys and girls.
Chainsaw Individual:
Christian van Dyk is really an inspiration to others. He came first overall in his age group for this challenging event.
Mr and Mrs Carter completed the 40km Thirsti Big cycle and Mr Botha and Mrs du Plessis ran the 10km trail run. The teachers and learners really enjoyed themselves. It is always an inspiration to see how much enthusiasm young people have for sport and a healthy lifestyle.
Dictionary sponsorship from the Rotary Club
Last week DHS received 20 illustrated Usbourne dictionaries from Bev Garner. It is such a wonderful gift to the school, as many learners benefit from having dictionaries in the classrooms.
