After four weeks of competition, the Inter-House Athletics came to an end last Wednesday, with the U/17 age group completing their events. It has been a real challenge to get all events complete with the various restrictions we have had to negotiate, as well as some welcome (but unwelcome) rain. While the majority of pupils have struggled to find their form of previous years, there were a few who have clearly worked hard during the ‘off period’ and a number of new records were set:
Anja Maree: Girls U/19 shot put
Mada Buliani: Boys U/19 long jump
Thabang Shabangu: Boys U/14 300m hurdles
David Ramalepe: Boys U/16 100m
Nanaki Kgopong: Girls U/14 300m hurdles
Olivia Drewett: Girls U/16 javelin
As this was the first year in which we have had the U/17s competing in their own age group, all of them who achieved a 1st place have set a new school record.
The following have been awarded the following athletics trophies in 2021:
McGaffin Trust Trophy for the Top Sprinter: Mada Buliani

Cheerio Trust Trophy - Best Senior Middle Distance Runner: Heidi Katzke
