“As UJ athletes, we were very happy and excited when we found out that this year’s provincial championship were going to be held at our home track. This is where we push ourselves every day – performing in front of our home crowd enabled us to get close and even beat our lifetime best performances as a result. For me personally, this was a great competition because I was injured just a couple of weeks ago and thought I wouldn’t be able to qualify for the National Championship. Doing it in two events is such a confidence booster, and I am very optimistic going into future event,” said Sabelo Dhlamini, after winning two gold medals in the championship.
