Knysna Primary School athletics
Knysna Primary athletics kicks off every year fairly early with a round robin athletics meet for u/10 to u0/14 athletes . This is a massive event as each and every pupil in the school can participate. On this day the best 8 to 12 athletes in each item are selected to participate in evening meets. At these events the top 3 athletes are chosen to represent the school at a town athletics meet.
The u/7, u/8 and u/9 athletes all participate in a foundation phase athletics meet. At this event best 8 to 12 athletes are once again selected to participate in the evening events.
At the town event each school participates. Once again the best 3 athletes are chosen to represent the town in the regional competition. This competition includes the towns of Plettenberg Bay, Sedgefield and Knysna. At the Regional Event times and distances are monitored to determine which athletes qualify for the SWD Championships. It is always an honour for our athletes to qualify.
At the SWD Championships the times and distances are once again monitored to determine which athletes qualify for the Western Cape Championships, where qualifications are once again sought for the National Championships.
