KZN Athletics Champs

On Thursday 25 March 2021 the St Monica’s athletes arrived in Durban, in the early hours of the morning, due to the protest action on the N2. They were accompanied by Mr Dlamini and Ms Greyling. We arrived safely and were accommodated at the Fig Tree. All Covid-19 regulations were adhered to. The learners took part on the first day of the Champs on Friday 26 March.

Our learners did well and two of them won bronze medals, even though it was pouring with rain. On the second day Saturday 27 March six of our learners participated and Nikita Dombela as well as Refengkgotso Setloboko achieved gold for Javelin and High jump respectively, Thato Thabana achieved silver for Hurdles and Ashwin Kotze achieved bronze for High jump.

Sunday 28 March was the final day of the tournament and the learners won 3 medals; 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze. We travelled back safely and would like to thank our parents, Leohla Transport, the school management and Our Father for being with us and encouraging us during the tournament.
