Die Weskus sal eersdaags \u2019n nuwe \u201ceerste\u201d h\u00ea wanneer atlete die strate invaar as deel van die Weskus Street Mile-wedloop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danksy die Langebaan-atletiekklub het die Weskus nou \u2019n vyf weke lange wedloop wat Saterdag 8 Julie met \u2019n finale wedloop sal eindig. Atlete van nege tot 70 jaar en ouer sal aan die wedloop deelneem, het Leroy Jacobs, die wedloop-direkteur, Vrydagaand by die amptelike bekendstelling van die Street Mile verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Langebaan-atletiekklub se voorsitter, Christopher Rodger, het meer vertel oor die klub en hoekom di\u00e9 nuwe sportgeleentheid begin is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is nie genoeg om geleenthede vir ons kinders deur sport te skep nie. Ons moet ook mense bemagtig en bydra tot sosiale opheffing. Daar is nie iets soos \u2019n oornagsukses nie; jy moet die proses vertrou en die werk insit om \u2019n sukses te wees,\u201d het hy verduidelik<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Langebaan-atletiekklub is in 2012 gestig en het sedertdien verskeie topatlete opgelewer. Van die klub se uitblinkers is die junior Angell Pholman, die Suid-Afrikaanse kampioen van die 1 200m-wedloop, en die meestersatleet Eustace Lemmetjie, wat verskeie podiumplekke behaal het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodgers s\u00ea egter alle atlete by die klub is ewe belangrik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Fraser van Boland-atletiek het die klub vir sy \u201cbaanbreker-werk\u201d geprys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWat ek hier sien en wat ek glo die sleutel tot julle sukses is, is die ekostelsel wat geskep is. Die sukses van die klub en die komende Street Mile<\/span><\/i>kan toegeskryf word aan samewerking met die gemeenskap en ander rolspelers buite die sport-sektor. Deur s\u00f3 saam te staan, skep ons \u2019n toekoms vir ons kinders,\u201d het Fraser ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy het bygevoeg hoewel die Langebaan-klub een van die jongstes in die streek is, is dit maklik om die impak van hul werk te sien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHier word nie net gekla oor wat julle nie het nie \u2013 hier word gewerk met wat julle het, en dit is wonderlik om te sien hoeveel met min bemagtig is. Dit is net weer \u2019n bewys dat jou ingesteldheid en visie uiters belangrik is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlete sal Saterdag 27 Mei aan die eerste wedloop kan deelneem. Atlete hardloop in ouderdomsgroepe van Bre\u00ebstraat en sal die roete deur die dorp volg om hul 1,6 km, oftewel 1 myl, te voltooi. Prysgeld ter waarde van R56 000 is op die spel. Die skool met die meeste inskrywings sal \u2019n trofee sowel as \u2019n geldprys wen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charmaine Loubser, die onderburgemeester van die Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit, het die klub sterkte toegewens met di\u00e9 nuwe geleentheid. \u201cMy hart loop eenvoudig net oor, want ons kan sien dit word gedoen vir die kinders en die gemeenskap,\u201d het sy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodgers het die belanghebbendes, borge en sy \u201cysterspan\u201d bedank vir hul aandeel aan die aanbieding van die Weskus Street Mile-wedloop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
