The Botswana Athletics Association (BAA) hosted its last Track and Field series of events for the year at the National Stadium.

The competition was held to give local athletes an opportunity to redeem themselves. The likes of Baboloki Thebe, and Bernard Olesitse were some of the athletes who were looking forward to qualifying for the upcoming Commonwealth Games, World Athletics U20 Championships, and the World Athletics Championships Oregon22.

Olesitse on his 400m race fell short and could not continue with his race after picking up a hamstring injury soon into his race, and fell down. He will unfortunately not be part of the upcoming international competitions.
