Central Gauteng Athletics successfully hosted the 2024 CGA Senior Track and Field<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Provincial Championships on the 16 March 2024 at the UJ Athletics Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CGA senior athletes kept the momentum going this past weekend at the senior<\/p>\n\n\n\n
provincial championships which are very important as it is an Olympic year. The<\/p>\n\n\n\n
championships were hosted following the 4 successful Track and Field leagues hosted<\/p>\n\n\n\n
by CGA to ensure athletes have enough competition to prepare, qualify and secure<\/p>\n\n\n\n
their spot at the provincial team to represent the province at the National Senior<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Championships in mid-April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A stunning performance delivered by Sibusiso Msibi of UJ in the senior men 1500m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Msibi led the race from the start to secure a gold position in the time 03:47.41, securing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the silver medal was his teammate Nkosinathi Sibiya clocking 03:48.42 and taking<\/p>\n\n\n\n
home a bronze medal was Nicholas Whittaker also in the colours of UJ in the time of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
03:50.08.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chane Vermuelen of HSRB finished got a well-deserved gold medal in the 200m<\/p>\n\n\n\n
senior women event in the time 23.86 securing her space in the team to represent<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CGA at ASA Championships as she ran a qualifying time. Kayla la Grange of UJ also<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ran a qualifying time of 24.04 to appear with a silver medal on the provincial podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In third place clocking an ASA qualifier of 24.69 was Mpontsheng Sekese of Masai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are looking forward to outstanding performances from these athletes at the ASA<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senior Championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CGA\u2019s shotput specialist Kyle Blignaut was also on the field this past weekend<\/p>\n\n\n\n
confirming his position for shotput selection with an incredible performance of 18.89.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a post event interview, Blignaut indicated that he is now based in Italy with his new<\/p>\n\n\n\n
coach. He further mentioned that he is looking forward to getting back in form as he<\/p>\n\n\n\n
feels he has lost the rhythm of competing in SA. Blignaut will be working on reclaiming<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the shotput senior men national title this year as he did not compete last year due to<\/p>\n\n\n\n
an injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The highlight of the day was the battle between the long-distance runners in the senior<\/p>\n\n\n\n
men 5000m, as we spotted some CGA elite athletes on the start line of this race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kabelo Mulaudzi of Boxer who was amongst the favorite won the race in the time of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14:10.93. In second place was his teammate Chris Mhlanga clocking 14:20.63. Ryan<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mphahlele who appeared in new colors of FFA claimed the third position in the time of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14:34.74. We are confident that the above-mentioned athletes will definitely represent18 March 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the province well at the 2024 ASA Senior Championships with a possibility of securing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the national title in this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
