Central Gauteng Athletics successfully hosted the 1st league of the 2025 Track and Field season at Germiston Stadium this past Saturday 25 January 2025. The league was well supported by various CGA clubs and athletes from various neighbouring provinces. We had a few athletes from our neighbouring countries as well.
One of the intriguing events of the day was the Senior Men Long Jump which saw South African Long Jump Champion Cheswill Johnson of UJ jumping a distance of 8.17 to win the event. In second position was Koketso Ramagaga of VUT with a jump of 6.69. Settling for the third position was Simon Tsilo of Nedbank with a jump of 6.66.
The other highlight of the day in the sprints was the senior men 100m race where Ngoni Makusha ran an amazing time to dominate the race clocking 10.22. In the same race the second place went to UJ athlete Matthew Ban Rooijen in the time 10.62 and in third position was Ethan Burger in the time of 10.78. In the senior women 100m category the ladies also delivered an amazing performance where UJ athletes dominated the race with Kayla la Grange in 1st position sprinting to the finish line to clock 12.10 followed by her teammate Bophele Seoe in the time of 12.32 and in 3rd position was Liandi Le Roux also in the UJ colors finishing in 12.40.
The senior men 5000m event which was the last day of the event saw Calvin Sibusiso Msibi of UJ leading the race to finish to line in the time of 14:45.50. Bennett Seloyi of Waterfall finished second clocking 14:50.96 and in third position was Jabulane Ncamane in the time of 14:58.23.
