The canoeing team has made it all the way to Roodeplaat where they have started racing in the SA Schools Sprints Championships! They are excited to be there and we are equally excited for them. 

We will be able to share the full list of results next week but for now, these are the results of the first few heats:

CJ and Hayward came 3rd in the Under 23 K2 final👏👏 These 2 young men are ambassadors for the sport and represent how hard work and dedication can change the direction of their lives. Hayward has become one of the canoeing junior coaches.
