\u201cWe are proud to welcome Sizwe Medical Fund and 3SixtyLife as title sponsors of these championships,\u201d said Aleck Skhosana, president of ASA.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the standard of South African athletics having made tremendous international strides over the last few years, there is an ever growing hunger by fans to witness South Africa\u2019s best athletes competing on home soil.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Sizwe Medical Fund and 3SixtyLife Senior Track and Field and Combined Events Championships are the country\u2019s premier track and field competition in athletics.<\/p>\n
