68 DSS athletes qualified to represent KZNCSSA at the aQuellé National Athletics Championship on 23 and 24 September. That is 25% of the school enrolment!
The competition was stiff with more than 1000 of the top athletes from 9 different regions across South Africa and as far afield as Zimbabwe, participating in the event. Nevertheless, the DSS athletes quit themselves like men and won 48 medals in total, 17 Gold, 17, Silver and 14 Bronze.
The Interhouse Athletics Meeting took place on Thursday 4 August and Saturday 6 August, however, due to the severe cold experienced on Saturday we had to postpone the relay races to Thursday 11 August. After three sessions, Murray proved to be the winning house with a score of 1787. Morris came a very close second with a score of 1758.
Junior Victrix: Frieda Mout with 2448 ASA points
Junior Victor: Heinrich Marloth with 2272 ASA points
Senior Victrix: Shimei Meyer with 2155 ASA points
Senior Victor: Gabriel Maphanga with 2494 ASA points
In spite of the extremely challenging conditions especially on Saturday, DSS athletes equalled or set 21 new records.
