According to her coach, Lydia Fourie, their training sessions were filled with cartwheels and smiles. “Juggling field and track items at every session, from 80m sprints to shot put, there was just no limit to Kayla’s talents. Watching Super Sport Schools, and seeing her run was such a privilege. She not only represented Mpumulanga in amazing fashion, but also our school,” Fourie said.
The future of athletics at Barberton Primary is bright having Kayla in it. The whole school is proud of her and cannot wait to see what the future holds.
