With a large crowd cheering from the sidelines, the atmosphere was electric as athletes from Dr Lemmer High School, M & K Gertze High School, /Anes Secondary School, and Rehoboth High School took to the field.

Sprint events proved to be a particular strength for the school. The u/15 and u/17 boys both won their 100m races, while the u/15 girls also secured victory in their sprint event.

In the field events, Elijah Kisting cleared 1.75m in the u/17 high jump, narrowly missing a higher mark. Raynold Witbeen recorded a distance of 12.65m in the triple jump, while Samuel Immanuel reached 6.1m in the long jump.
