DHS excels at Vryheid relay: Dis ‘n Woensdag, dis 5 Februarie, dit was tyd vir al die spoedvrate van Hoërskool Dundee om deel te neem aan die jaarlikse Vryheid aflos byeenkoms. ‘n Vinnige opwarming en ‘n paar krete later het elke atleet na sy of haar punt toe beweeg en die aksie het begin.
The thick and fast action included relays from anywhere between four by 50-metre relays to four by 200m relays. The gents and ladies of Dundee High faced stiff competition and every race was balanced on a knife’s edge, with the top four runners from all of the participating schools separated by less than five meters in some instances.
Die Hoërskool Dundee atlete het hulle goed van hulle taak gekwyt en het die volgende medaljes ingepalm: meisies onder-17 en o-19 het albei derde plekke algeheel bereik. Die seuns o-19 span was tweede algeheel, ‘n enkele punt weg daarvan om eerste in die ouderdomsgroep te wees. Die o-15 meisies het egter geskitter en eerste algeheel in die ouderdomsgroep geëinding.
The school thanked all the boys and girls for their commitment on the field and their excellent behaviour off the field. It also gave thanks to all the teachers who travelled with to help out.
“With pride, the school can say, with two teams less than all the other participating schools, DHS ended a respectable fourth, only three points overall behind the third placed school.”
