UCT 2024 USSA Team
A big congratulations to our 14 athletes who have proudly defended our UCT colours in their specific events. Their hard work helped us finish 13th out of 19 universities that participated.
This performance improved our current standing by two points higher compared to the 2022 USSA T&F Champs. We managed to accumulate a total of 22 points (overall), 10 points better than last year.
We secured a bronze medal, thanks to our athlete, Katlego Manamela who demonstrated outstanding performance in the men’s senior decathlon. Behind him, Chulumanco Peter and Seth Kleynhans completed the table, and all together bagged a total of 15 points for UCT.
In the women’s side, Usanda Mtwazi gave it her all in the Heptathlon events and managed to get 3 points for the team. In the Shotput category, Alexander von der Walt finished 5th and managed to grab a total of 4 points for the team.
Several other athletes gave their best and proudly defended our UCT colours despite falling short of the finals.
