The performance on the night was undoubtedly that of Orazio Cremona in the shot put when he won the event with a personal best of 20.63m. This distance catapulted him into the 2nd place on the all-time ranking list by a South African athlete and was it no surprise when he was also awarded the prize of the best performance by a male athlete on the night.
The other outstanding performance was the 4 x 100m relay for men when Tuks became the 1st club team ever to run faster that 40 seconds when they crossed the finished line in a time of 38.76 seconds. This is an incredible feat as this was the 1st time that these athletes run together as a team and can these athletes get very close to the SA Record in the future.
Tuks won 9 out of the 18 events on the night with 4 second places, underlining the quality of their performances. The athletes that won their respective events are:
Orazio Cremon Shot Put 20.63
Chad Herma Javelin 71.32
Duwayne Boer Long Jump 7.40
Le Roux Hamman 400H 50.99
Kobus Moolman 110H 14.16
4 x 100m Relay Men 39.76
Anneri Ebersohn 400m 54.86
Michelle Cornelius Triple Jump 12.21
4 x 100m Relay Women 45.72
With these performances, the foundation has been laid for the next meeting that is taking place on 14 April in Potchefstroom.
Tuks of NIks!!
