Athletics team scoops 38 medals at AUSC Region 5 Games

The team achieved the feat despite a slow start at the games. Botswana eventually found its rhythm to retain its second position behind South Africa, which they also scooped at the last edition of the games that were held in Lesotho.

Botswana scooped 38 medals (11 gold medals, 17 silver and 10 bronze) with South Africa winning 27 medals, 19 gold, six silver and two bronze. On the third spot is Malawi with 20 medals (eight gold, three silver and nine bronze).
