WELCOME

On behalf of the University of Pretoria, it is my privilege to welcome you as a member of the

TuksAthletics Club for 2016. We are honoured to have so many young and talented athletes, like

yourself, joining the Club Where Champions Are Made.

Over the years, TuksAthletics has been boasting with some of the finest and best athletes in the

world and this all is due to the fact the we have outstanding and dedicated coaches as well as

world class facilities. You might have seen that the track at the Bestmed TuksAthletics Stadium

has been removed but the good news is that we will have a state of the art two tone blue Mondo

track (same surface as in Rio!!) very soon where you and other top athletes can prepare

themselves for the coming season. If weather permits, the track will be ready at the end of

February 2016.

We will also be hosting the 2nd leg of the Varsity Athletics Series on the new track on 18 March

2016 and as you will know, we are the defending champions of this Series and hopefully we can

defend our title on our home ground in front of our home crowd!

All of us at TuksAthletics are looking forward to an exciting 2016 and expect amazing

performances by our athletes in the build up to the IAAF World Junior Championships in Poland

and the Olympic Games in Rio.

Good luck for the season – I and my team are at your disposal to make this a memorable year in

your life so please do not hesitate to contact anyone of us if you need assistance.

Remember:

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the

keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.
