KZNCSSA Provincial Athletics Championship

On 30-31 August, 116 athletes from KEHS traveled to the Msunduzi Stadium in Pietermaritzburg to compete as part of the South Durban Team in the KZNCSSA Provincial Athletics Championships. The South Durban team achieved a solid second-place overall, with KEHS athletes winning an astounding 53 medals: 12 gold, 17 silver, and 24 bronze. Impressively, 48 of our athletes were selected for the KZNCSSA team to participate in the SACSSA National Athletics Meeting in Sasolburg later this month.

Special recognition goes to Lere Tyika and Cade Marais, who were named the second and third Best Junior Boys, respectively. Additionally, Reinhard Mulder was one of the Top 20 Male Performers with a remarkable throw of 45.95 metres in the u/17 Hammer Throw event.
