College News - Youth/Junior/Senior Athletics – Submitted By Ross Chapman
When I got to Kings Park, I sent my mom a text telling her that she had entered me into a league for ballies and that I was running against giants. She replied “David went up against Goliath ….. who was victorious?” I was so nervous. The sun was roasting us. There were 27 athletes for the 800m including the SA ladies champ. I am U15 and these athletes were U17. It ended up being one of my best races with my best time. I came 6th overall (5 th male) in a time of 2:11:27.  It was 5 seconds faster than my MENLO time.
