the National Track and Field Youth and Junior Championships, which will be held in Cape Town on April 7 and 8.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was no sub-youth (under 15) age category at this weekend\u2019s championships, nor will there be at the National Youth and Junior Championships in April,\u201d said Radebe.<\/p>\n<p>A number of the Germiston Callies Harriers athletes shone at the meeting, securing podium finishes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some of their results were:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pedro Aaron won gold in the men\u2019s u-19 long jump.<\/li>\n<li>Simon\u00e8 van der Nest won gold for both the

it their all,\u201d said their coach, Stephan\u00e8 Kotz\u00e8.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing forward we hope to continue producing such results and improving where necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The event also allowed the CGA the chance to announce their three-year partnership with JM Busha Investment Group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCGA Track and Field Commission welcomes the partnership which will indeed assist the
