Schools Athletics
For the first time in the history of South African athletics two major national championships have been combined to form one big event under the Athletics South Africa umbrella.

Yellow Pages Oudsthoorn
The highlight of the second Yellow Pages Summer Series Meeting in Oudtshoorn, was undoubtedly the men’s mile as pace maker Elroy Galant led the field of 6 athletes through the 800m mark in 1:58 – spot on for a sub 4 mile. But then the 5000m World Championship Athlete was already 30m ahead of the chasing pack. By the time he reached the bell (he was to take the field through 1200m in 2:58) he had a lead of 50m. Encouraged by stadium announcer, Altus Schreuder, Galant made a brave run for the finish. He was 1 sec off the pace as he started the last lap, and came desperately close to the magical mark of 4min. In the end Galant crossed the line in 4:01;69 – 5 seconds ahead of runner up Johan Cronje, with local Junior Ettiene Plaatjies a further second adrift. [Read more...]
