Junaid Phillips, a Grade 12 learner at Hottentots-Holland High School, has been setting the athletics track and field alight with his outstanding performances. At the school’s inter-colours meet, he won the long jump, high jump and triple jump for under-19 boys, and placed second in the 100 m sprint. He went on to win the high jump and triple jump events at the interschools clash with Hoërskool Strand and Parel Vallei High School, and entered the Boland schools’ championships, where he won gold in long jump and bronze in triple jump on Saturday 16 February. Junaid thanked his coach Melanie Hibbert from the Helderberg Athletics Academy for her role in these wonderful achievements.
