Die 15-jarige Matao le Roux, \u2019n leerder aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Overberg, het gewis rede om van vreugde in die lug te spring \u2013 eintlik het hy sommer drie goeie redes om so opgewonde te wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matao het op 19 Oktober by Bredasdorp se Top-10-atletiekbyeenkoms \u2019n rekord in hoogspring opgestel. Sy sprong van 1.98 m, wat sy persoonlike beste prestasie ewenaar, het die vorige rekord van 1.97 m van 2015 verbeter. Matao het aan Hermanus Times<\/i> ges\u00ea dit was net-net ho\u00ebr as die vorige rekord wat vir soveel jare gestaan het, maar nietemin \u2019n rekord is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matao is vanwe\u00eb di\u00e9 goeie prestasie een van die 40 jong atlete wat genooi is om as lid van die Boland-ho\u00ebrskole-atletiekspan aan \u2019n atletiekbyeenkoms in Namibi\u00eb deel te neem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die byeenkoms, wat deur Rural & Para Athletix Academy in samewerking met Boland-atletiekontwikkeling gere\u00ebl is, vind van 16 tot 21 Desember in Swakopmund, Namibi\u00eb, plaas. Matao s\u00ea hy hoop om by di\u00e9 byeenkoms sy droom-mikpunt van 2 m te bereik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die ander groot nuus is dat Matao \u2019n beurs ontvang het om volgende jaar na die Ho\u00ebrskool Stellenbosch te gaan. Hy s\u00ea sy ma, Maeve Jonkers, het verlede jaar reeds om die beurs aansoek gedoen en dit is hierdie jaar goedgekeur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By di\u00e9 skool sal nie net aandag aan akademie gegee word nie, maar ook aan die ontwikkeling van sy atletiekloopbaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die beurs is moontlik gemaak deur Endurocad, \u2019n organisasie sonder winsbejag, wat hulle toespits op die atleet se ontwikkeling op persoonlike, sport en akademiese gebied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die bekende voormalige Olimpiese langafstandatleet Elana Meyer is die uitvoerende hoof van Endurocad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Endurocad hou gereeld sportklinieke in verskeie dorpe waar hulle jong atlete mentor en ook op die uitkyk is vir talent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Belowende atlete word genooi om \u2019n kamp by te woon waar hulle dan ook, onder meer, \u2019n akademiese aanlegtoets moet afl\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matao het onlangs een van di\u00e9 kampe bygewoon en is op grond van sy prestasies gekies om die beurs te ontvang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matao s\u00ea: \u201cEk is reg vir hierdie nuwe belewenis. Ek gaan in die koshuis in Stellenbosch woon en is baie opgewonde om saam met die mentors en afrigters te werk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk moet hierdie geleentheid aangryp om my toekoms te verbeter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die atletiektoer na Namibi\u00eb het aansienlike kostes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
