The event saw learners from as young as U7 up to U13 (boys and girls) compete in various items such as high jump, 100m, 1 200m, and hurdles to name but a few.
According to the organisers, schools first compete against one another in their districts and the best athletes will then be selected to participate in a district-level event to be held at a later stage.
