Outstanding athletics results 2007

That Northern Natal could capture the team trophy at the KZNCSSA Athletics Championship was a highlight of the season. We have broadened the base of participation. Never before have so many had to opportunity to participate in athletics beyond the Interhouse.

However, I must add, the quality of the performances has declined slightly. Nevertheless, something will need to be done to raise the performance levels of our athletes.

Domino Servite was awarded the Top School Award in KZNCSSA for 2007 at the Awards Evening on 10 November. Sportsmen and women achieved the most provincial caps overall considering all sport codes.
