Hoe gaan dit met Oom in die Ouetehuis? Oom in die Ouetehuis se voet!
Oom is op die atletiekbaan besig!

Skuus?
Ja, op byna 80-jarige ouderdom is Conrad Stoltz nog besig om die atletiek medaljes in te ryg.
En nie sommer enige medalje nie; Goud!

Hy vier op 18 Julie sy 80ste verjaardag.
By die Suid-Afrikaanse meesters kampioenskappe verlede naweek, verower hy ’n silwer medalje in die gewigstoot, goud met spiesgooi en goud vir diskus. Hy is in die 5000m stap gediskwalifiseer.

Die SAMA, Suid-Afrikaanse Meesters Atletiek Kampioenskappe is op Germiston aangebied en hy het in die afdeling 75-79 jaar meegeding.

Hy was oor die jare natuurlik meer bekend as Comrades marathon atleet, maar hy het ook as rugby skiedsregter en rugby afrigter uitgeblink.
