With just two more league meetings to go before the provincial and national championships the season has gained momentum.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a great turnout of spectators with the grandstands filled to witness all the action,\u201d said Mbalenhle Ngema from CGA.<\/p>
In one of the highlights of the meeting the Athletics South Africa sanctioned 5 000m event for junior women (in preparation for choosing the CAA cross country team) saw the race being led by a bunch from the KPMG Athletics Club.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe race had an interesting finish as it was a close call for officials to decide between Simonay Weitsz (KPMG) and Keletso Senosi (Tuks), who is also a CGA product.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe race was awarded to Weitsz in a time of 17:34:3 with Senosi taking second in a time of 17:34:5.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe trials were aimed at evaluating the junior women\u2019s fitness as they prepare for the CAA championships in Cameroon at the beginning of March,\u201d Ngema said.<\/p>\n The highly anticipated 10 000m men\u2019s race saw Sibusiso Nzima (Nedbank) walking away victorious in a time of 28:48, shocking the crowd with a world class performance.<\/p>\n Onneile Dintwe (Nedbank) took the women\u2019s event in 34:51, and she was very impressed with her time as she aims to qualify for the Rio Olympics.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is do or die time for athletes as we get closer to the national championships.<\/p>\n \u201cThey need to have participated in at least two provincial leagues and the CGA championships to qualify for selection.<\/p>\n \u201cSome have met the selection criteria, and some still need the two remaining league meetings to achieve their goal and meet the criteria,\u201d Ngema said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Other articles you may be interested in:<\/p>\n![\"Sibusiso](\"https:\/\/germistoncitynews.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2016\/01\/05GCNSPORTATHLMH2_04305.jpg\")
