KNYSNA NEWS – The ASA National Track and Field Championships took place between 23 and 25 March in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu Natal.
The championships highlighted the tenacity and the talent of young athletes from all around South Africa.
The two Knysna athletes were selected at the ASWD High Schools Athletics Championships at the De Jager Stadium in Oudtshoorn earlier this year.
Chris Jacobs, a learner from Concordia High School, took part in the boys U18 400m and Laticha Sinclair, from Knysna Secondary School, participated in the girls U18 1500m.
It was the first time for both athletes participating at a national level, and despite not making it through to the final rounds the two learners displayed exemplary sportsmanship and great pride that they were able to represent their schools and their province.
The ASWD team returned home with seven silver and five bronze medals.
