A handful of athletes delivered world-class performances on Saturday 27 April bringing the 2019 Sizwe Medical Fund and 3SixtyLife ASA Senior Track and Field and Combined Events Championships to a thrilling close at Germiston Athletics Stadium.

Javelin throw queen Sunette Viljoen clinched her 13th South African title with a winning heave of 57.23m.  “I think my last throw would have been a good one, but I just slipped as I came in to lock, but I’m very happy to win again, and to walk away with another national title.”

Among other highlights, youth athlete Prudence Sekgodiso edged Gena Lofstrand on the line to win the women’s 800m title in 2:05.06, while junior star Zeney van der Walt pipped experienced campaigner Wenda Nel to win her maiden national senior 400m hurdles title in 55.93.
