Athletics Coach Letu Hamhola said he is pleased with the level of competition at the NSSU national athletics event that concluded in the capital over the weekend.

The two-day event, held at the Independence Stadium, was used to select a track and field athletics team for future international participation.

The NSSU national athletics championships saw athletes in the age groups of under 13 and under 19 from all 14 regions competing against each other for bragging rights.

The Khomas Schools Sport Region (KSSR) recently organized a regional athletics meet at the Independence Stadium. The participants, aged between 13 to 19, showcased their athletic prowess, with a Senior category also in the mix.

The primary objective of the event was to identify and select talented athletes who will have the honor to represent the region at the upcoming National Athletics Competition.

The Namibia athletics relay teams are currently in camp, preparing for this year's All Africa Games in Accra, Ghana, which will take place in March.

Namibia will be represented by two relay teams, consisting of both men and women.

The All Africa Games are scheduled to be held from the 8th to the 23rd of March in Accra, Ghana.
