Cross Country 2013

Monday, 28 January 2013 – Trial winners Elroy Gelant and Lebo Phalula have both been included in a 27 member team to represent South Africa at the CAA Southern Region Cross Country Championships taking place in Maseru on 2 March 2013.

The first six positions obtained at the trials on Saturday, 26 January 2013 in Boksburg automatically qualified for inclusion in the team, but Athletics South Africa has announced three wild card entries based on performance at the SA Cross Country Championships that took place in Amanzimtoti in September 2012.

Gladwin Mzazi  (senior men), Lorraine Novela (senior women) and Thabang Nkuna (junior men) have been selected as wild card entries and will join a team with athletes such as Kgosi Tsosane, Lucky Mohale, Nolene Conrad, Lebo Phalula, Mapaseka Makhanya, Tumisang Monnatlala and Olivia Labuschagne to name a few.
