Six primary schools did battle in 82 athletics items during a Randfontein Circle A Athletics meeting hosted at Laerskool Randfontein (ram) on Wednesday, 6 February.
The participating schools were FJL Wells Primary, Setholela Primary, Mohlakano Primary, Malerato Primary, Ram and Randfontein Primary. The event saw youngsters from as young as U/7 up to U/13 (boys and girls) compete in various items such as high jump, shot put, 1 200m and long jump to name but a few, from 9am until 3pm. The first event was the 200m heats for girls U/13 and the last was the 100m for boys U/13.
The full results will be made available to the Herald on Thursday, 7 February.
Rickus Kruger, the sub-district athletics chairperson and field referee for the day said schools first compete against one another in their districts. The best athletes will then be selected to participate in a District Level 2 event to be held on Wednesday, 13 February.
“After that, the schools will be competing at provincial level and eventually at national level,” Rickus said.
Maritza du Toit, a coordinator on the day, added, “We are very proud of our Circle A group of athletes and looking forward to the season. There is some great talent coming through.”
