Two athletes from Somerset House Preparatory School have enjoyed an exciting and successful athletics season. Skyler October and Gillian Rank were recently selected to represent the Western Province primary schools athletics team. Skyler participated in the long-jump event for u-10 boys and finished second overall, while Gillian participated in the shot-put event for u-13 girls and also claimed second place on the podium. Both athletes were invited to compete in the Western Cape Athletics Trials at Dal Josaphat Stadium in Paarl this past Saturday (12 March). At this meet, Skyler finished fourth overall with a jump of 4,14 m and Gillian’s distance of 10,85 m for shot-put secured her a fourth position overall.Foto:
