It was the two shot putters – Dewald Bezuidenhout<\/strong> (u16) and Dewald Roodt<\/strong> (u15) – of hosts, die Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebr Seunskool of Pretoria, which stole the limelight during the annual Affie Wildeklawer Invitational<\/strong> meeting held at the LC de Villiers Stadium in the Jacaranda City.<\/p>\n

Affies co-host this prestigious event with the Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebr Meisieskool of Pretoria<\/strong> (AHMP).<\/p>\n

Bezuidenhout’s best attempt in the shot put for Boys u16 of 18.85 metres secured him a total of 986 points on the Athletics Performance Evaluation (APE) tables. He also won gold in the discus with a throw of 52.36 metres.<\/p>\n

Roodt won the shot put for Boys u17 with an attempt of 17.56 metres which gave him 951 points on the APE-tables.<\/p>\n

The hosts’ Emil Els<\/strong> is also in form as he won the 1,500m for Boys u16 in a respectable three minutes and 56.95 seconds. He was in a tight contest with his teammate Roal Jansen van Rensburg<\/strong> (4:02.75) in the event.<\/p>\n

Els also won the 800m in one minute and 59.20 seconds. Jansen van Rensburg (2:01.32) had to settle for the bronze medal in this race as Grey College’s Jurgen Nortj\u00e9<\/strong> (1:59.69) pressed Els to the finish line.<\/p>\n

De Villiers Lamprecht<\/strong> of Grey College won the 800m for Boys u17 in 1:55.21. He is the grandson of the first South African to run a dream mile (under four minutes) by the same name De Villiers Lamprecht. His grandfather clocked the first dream mile on 13 November 1964 in Stellenbosch barefoot.<\/p>\n

It was a good day for the middle distance runners as Werner Gouws<\/strong> (Affies) will also feel more than happy with his performance of 3:56.48 in the 1500m for Boys u19. Curro Hazeldean’s Tiisetso Malungane<\/strong> (u15) also produced a worthy performance in the 1500m. He won the race in 4:08.21.<\/p>\n

While we talking are about Curro Hazeldean, <\/strong>they will, without a doubt, be a force to be reckoned with in this year’s Pretoria B-Bond meeting. If they are promoted to the A-Bond there will be more than a couple of schools in the top section who will be losing a bit more sleep before next season.<\/p>\n

Mukona Manavhela<\/strong> of Curro Hazeldean blitzed the 100m for Boys u17 in 10.71 seconds to bag gold. He also won the 200m sprint in a fast 21.36 seconds. Another sprinter from Curro Hazeldean, Inam Dlunge<\/strong> (u19), won his age group’s 100m in only 10.63 seconds. The school’s Lesibe Dikgale<\/strong> (u19) also produced the goods as he won the 400m sprint in 52.88 seconds.<\/p>\n

Waterkloof’s Alexander Griesel<\/strong> put up a good performance in the 100m-hurdles for Boys u16 winning it in 13.64 seconds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
