Hoërskool Generaal Hertzog (HGH) hosted a successful athletics gathering against four competing high schools through the cats and dogs that poured during the rainy weekend.
For the soldiers of HGH, there is no such thing as an ordinary athletic gathering when they challenge the athletes of other high schools in the city.
The ‘army’ of athletes and their supporters gathered on their home base on February 11 for the athletics gathering hosted by the school. The participating schools were:
St Thomas Aquinas School, Hoërskool Kanonkop, Curro Bankenveld and Hoërskool Patriot.
In the end, only one of the schools in attendance could walk out as the first-place victor, despite the spirit and good sportsmanship shown on the field.
The victor was the maroon army on its home base, which received an ovation from all in attendance.
The results were as follows:
- Duhané Walker from HGH was awarded the Junior Victrix Ludorum.
- Zoë da Costa from HGH was awarded the Senior Victrix Ludorum.
- Pedrie van Staden from Curro Bankenvel was awarded the Junior Victor Ludorum.
- Dian Snyman from Hoërskool Kanonkop was awarded the Senior Victor Ludorum.
