 “Hierdie seun kan gerus dopgehou word, hy gaan nog groot hoogtes in landloop bereik,” is die oorwoë mening wat oor German Lewis uitgespreek is. German is ‘n 12-jarige knaap en ‘n Gr 4 leerder aan Gansbaai Primêr.

Gansbaai Courant het onlangs weer berig dat hy 3de tydens die WP Landloop Kampioenskappe te George geëindig het, waar hy stof in 80 deelnemers se oë geskop het. Daarmee het hy vir Atletiek Suid-Afrika (ASA) se kampioenskappe te George op 11-13 September gekwalifiseer. Sy afrigter, Corrie Avenant was bekommerd oor German se kostes ten bedrae van R3,200, maar goeie borgskappe is na aanleiding van Gansbaai Courant se berig aangebied. Op die laaste nippertjie het daar nog ‘n bedrag gekort, wat vriendelik deur die Gansbaai Lionsklub geborg is. Jan le Roux het die tjek namens die Gansbaai Lionsklub aan German en Corrie oorhandig.

“Namens Gansbaai Lionsklub wens ek jou alle sterkte toe vir die komende SA kampioenskappe en ons is dankbaar dat ons van hulp kon wees,” het Jan gesê. Intussen het die SA’s plaasgevind en German het nie teleurgestel nie. Met meer as 110 deelnemers het German 11de in die kategorie vir seuns o/12 geëindig, wat ‘n puik prestasie is en hy is heel trots op sy medalje wat hy ontvang het. “Dit was sy grootste wedloop tot nou toe en hy het baie geleer uit die ervaring om teen die land se bestes te kon meeding,” sê Corrie.

Hy rig graag die volgende bedankings: Lions Club, Football Foundation, Marine Dynamics, White Shark Diving Company, White Shark Adventures, White Shark Diving Unlimited, Taurus, Geldenhuys Bouers en elke ouer en onderwyser in die gemeenskap.
