Caster Semenya wrapped up a rare double, cruising to another national title on Friday 26 April as she closed out a thrilling second day of action at the Sizwe Medical Fund and 3SixtyLife ASA Senior Track and Field and Combined Events Championships at Germiston Athletics Stadium.
Taking the lead at the gun, Semenya stormed clear to win the women’s 1 500m final in 4:13.59. She finished nearly 16 seconds ahead of the rest of the field, adding the metric mile crown to the 5 000m title she won the day before.
