For now its athletics over books - Letsile

Tebogo is a rising athletics star with one of the world’s fastest times in the 100m and he says, for now, the track takes precedence over books. Tebogo is on the cusp of greatness as he awaits the athletics governing body, World Athletics, to ratify his new junior world record of 9.96 registered at the Gaborone International Meet (GIM) on April 30.

Tebogo completed his Form 5 at Gaborone Senior Secondary School last year, at a time when his athletics career was already blossoming. By the time he sat for his school-leaving examinations, Tebogo was already a junior world 100m champion and a silver medallist in the 200m. He is tipped to go on and achieve legendary status on the track, with a potentially career-defining year ahead. He will make his bow at the Africa Senior Championships in Mauritius, the World Championships in Oregon, US, the World Junior Championships in Colombia, and the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. With such a hectic athletics schedule, Tebogo said, for now, his focus is on athletics.
