Gauteng athletes still dominate the games
The achievements of local athletes from Athletics Gauteng North (AGN) at this past weekend's senior ASA championships in Potchefstroom confirmed that Pretoria still hosts the country's most athletics stars.
Athletes from Athletics Gauteng North (AGN) continued their long-standing dominance of the senior national championship this past weekend.
The AGN team won the championship, which was held at the NWU McArthur Stadium in Potchefstroom, with great ease.
In fact, their dominance was so overwhelming that the AGN team earned more than double the points (535) than the 265 points of their nearest rival, Athletics Central Northwest (ACNW).
Central Gauteng Athletics (CGA) with 240 points was third, followed by Western Province Athletics (WPA) with 135 points in fourth place and Athletics Free State (AFS) with 125 points in fifth place.
In terms of medal winners, AGN, with 45 in total, also took home almost double the number (23 each) of ACNW and CGA.
The Pretoria team’s 17 gold medals are ten more than ACNW and CGN’s seven each. The rest of AGN’s medals consisted of 14 silver and 14 bronze.
