Sprint sensation, Letsile Tebogo returns to action abroad for the first time this year when he enters an uncharted territory at the Curro Podium Athletics Meeting to be hosted at the Pilditch Stadium in South Africa tomorrow.

Fast legs are expected at this most prestigious high school athletics event in Southern Africa. The event is approved by Athletics South Africa (ASA) and World Athletics (WA), sanctioned by Gauteng North Athletics and supported by the Tshwane University of Technology.
