Track and field development day
Saturday 23rd April 2016
The Western Cape Transplant Sports
Association’s Track and Field
Development Open Day took place
at the Bellville Stadium on 23 April

Members from the Western Cape

disciplines and events in athletics

Track Events
Sprints: 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters
Middle Distance: 800 meters, 1500 meters
Walks: 3 km race walk (women), 5 km race
The idea with this day was that all
transplant recipients and their
families could get together and try
all the track and field events with no
entry restrictions under the watchful
eyes of qualified "coaches" to help
and show them how things are done.
The day was for training and
educational purposes with no medals
or prizes. After a development day
