Athletics

Athletics at Bergvliet High is designed to appeal to everyone: from the most unfit person who has never run more than a kilometre in their lives to the highly talented and fit. This has proved such a successful formula that over 200 learners regularly sign up to do the sport.

Athletics takes the form of road running. By the end of each term we manage to have all team members running 5km. The back markers on each run are always accompanied by a teacher who gently encourages them to finish the course slightly quicker each week. The better runners are free to do longer distances. Practices regularly take the form of a time trial so that athletes can monitor their progress.

The entire athletics squad participate in at least two races per term which have proved to be the highlight of each season.

While the emphasis is on road running, track athletes are accommodated under special circumstances.
