Albei is 12 jaar oud.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karolse het in die o.49kg-afdeling met 95kg geslaag \u2013 een kilogram meer as die kwalifiserende standaard. Hallem het met 97kg geslaag met die kwalifiserende standaard 94kg.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die afrigter Pieter Pretorius se sukses met die jonges is verstommend. Sy sukses oor baie jare spreek vanself toe hy sy dogter Mona tot w\u00eareldklasatleet gebrei het. Hy het ook van Suid-Afrika se beste juniors afgerig waarvan sommiges ook van w\u00eareldgehalte was.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Met Suid-Afrika se beste afrigter om die jonges touwys te maak, is dit geen verrassing dat Pellsrus nou amptelik een van die sterkste gewigoptelklubs in die Oos-Kaap is nie. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dit is ook die eerste keer in die geskiedenis van die sport in Suid-Afrika dat &#8216;n skool di\u00e9 uitsonderlike kompliment kry.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regdeur Suid-Afrika vorm senior klubs die ruggraat van hul provinsie. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dis duidelik dat die OP &#8216;n groot tekort aan senior deelnemers het.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die merkwaardige opgang in gewigoptel van &#8216;n 14-jarige leerling aan die Laerskool Pellsrus op Jeffreysbaai
