Athletics is a popular sport at Rhenish and we have many talented athletes. The girls are proud to compete for their school and, whether on track or field, they work hard to excel. Practices take place daily after school and before school sometimes in peak season. External coaches - specific to each of the events - ensure that Rhenish athletes have the best possible opportunities to improve.
An important aspect of being on the team is the support we provide each other. Our biggest team event is 4M – competing against the four Boland girls’ schools – but the athletes also participate in various school athletics competitions. Many athletes make the Boland and Western Cape teams.
We have introduced a strength and conditioning programme that runs during the off and pre-season. The programme consists of two sessions a week and runs from March to October. Through this hard work and dedication Rhenish athletics aims to become even more of a success in years to come.
