Jwaneng dominate National Championships :: Mmegi Online

The just-ended Orange Botswana Athletics National Championships delivered a spectacle of thrilling performances, with athletes clocking impressive personal bests (PBs) and several national records (NRs) tumbling. However, it was Jwaneng Athletics Club that stood head and shoulders above the rest, dominating both track and field events in emphatic fashion.

Jwaneng’s star sprinter, Busang Collen Kebinatshipi, stole the spotlight after blasting out of the blocks to clock a sensational men’s 100m World Leading (WL) time of 9.89 seconds, a performance that underlined the club’s strength and preparation.

One of the club’s coaches, Argo Lefatshe, told Mmegi Online that their success was no accident, but the result of meticulous planning and consistent competition throughout the season. “We prepared thoroughly for the national championships. Most of our athletes begin their season at the Jwaneng Athletics Challenge, where they compete in under-distance events to build speed and endurance,” he said.
