Incredible results from Triathlon KZN at the SA Sprint Championship
TRI KZN Dominating Performances at the SA SPRINT CHAMPS
Triathlon KZN had some incredible results this past weekend out at Maselspoort Bloemfontein. Billed as the national championships over the sprint distance, athletes from all over the country flocked to the hot and humid environment of the Free State.
In the ladies elite race, Shanae Williams managed to walk away with the SA Sprint Championship title while Biddi Theunissen placed 3rd amongst the local SA Ladies on the day. On the men’s side with Henri Schoeman competing overseas at the moment, it was left to Jared Douglas in his first senior race to claim 16th spot amongst a very competitive international PRO Men’s field
In the Junior Race (billed as an African Cup Event – the SA Junior Champs are still to take place in PE in March) Kitty Ribbink walked away with the ladies win while Mikaela De Oliveira was coming home in 3rd spot. Nathan Foster claimed 3rd overall in the boys section in his 1st race as a Junior. Oliver Delport was a close 4th behind him
The Youth Race showed some great growth for the team at KZN with a notable number of youngsters going to their very first SA Champs event which was encouraging to see. Our young ladies did very well with Taylor Foster grabbing a 2nd place in the 12-13yr age category and Ava Moore (2nd) and Shayla Harvey (3rd) in the 14-15yr category.
In the age group race which took place earlier in the day, we had at least 2 gold medals, two 2nd places and a few other top 4 finishes.
Once again TEAM KZN leading from the front. Next up is the National Championships for Juniors and Age Groupers over the STD Distance on March 19th
