The 2025 season has arrived, prompting the start of training for the club. Our middle and long distance group have their eyes fixed on USSA Track & Field Championships in Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu Natal in April. The student athletes will get together twice a week for workouts and once a week for group run. In the build up to USSA, our athletes will be competing in various road races and WPA track & field league meets. Please see the WPA calendar for more information.
The 2024 Cross Country Season has concluded with the InterVarsity Champs held at Nelson Mandela Unievrsity, Gqeberha on Friday the 13th and Saturday the 14 of September. Six athletes attended the USSA Champs to represent UCT in the 4km and 10km events.
Well done to our student athletes, it was a learning curve for them and they will be stronger in 2025 USSA Champs.
