Three gold medals for TuksSport U18 athletes

The University of Pretoria’s TuksSport High School athletes made their mark during the recent Africa Junior and Youth Championships in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, winning three gold medals.

Senesispo Dambile continued the proud legacy set by his predecessors Clarence Munyai and Gift Leotlela (former Athletics Foundation Trust athletes) by winning the 200m in 20.51.

His winning time is a new South African youth record. More importantly, it is one of the fastest times by an Under-18 athlete yet.

It ranks him among the top ten on the International Association of Athletics Federations’ list and led to him receiving the Best Athlete of the Meeting award.

He was not the only sprinter to excel. Thabang Hlohlolo, who is also sponsored by the Athletics Foundation Trust, was victorious in the U18 boys final and was clocked at 10.61.
