PUKKE TOP 30

12 November 2019

Two of our athletes took part in the PUKKE TOP 30 athletics meeting held in Potchefstroom on the weekend of 19 October. With 2065 athletes competing it was the biggest athletics meeting in Africa. Joshua Sweetnam (U14) and Aaron Lombard (U19) represented the SACCSA Team. Both of them were selected for Discus and Shot Put. Joshua's competition was intense with over 56 boys competing. He managed 13th place in the Shot Put and was unfortunate in the Discus.

Aaron did extremely well and finished second in the Shot Put and first in the Discus. With the extreme weather temperatures our two athletes performed very well. Congratulations to both Aaron and Joshua.
