Athletics Report: Saturday 23 January 2010.

The athletics league meeting held at Kings Park on Saturday 23 January was well organised and despite the intense heat, well attended by many schools , resulting in as many as six heats in some events. This interest in athletics, especially by schools such as Glenwood, DHS, Westville Boys, Maritzburg College, Michaelhouse and Port Shepstone, just to name a few, shows a revival in schools athletics in KZN This must be encourages and developed if athletics in the province is to grow. It was pleasing to note that some schools are even encouraging their rugby players to turn out and use the events as a training session.

Results are improving as the season progresses with athletes all wanting to qualify for the SA Championships in March.
