CROSS COUNTRY

Our runners participate annually in the organized cross-country league, where Ligbron consistently remain one of the TOP THREE teams in Mpumalanga. We also often achieve top honours in the Noordvaal championships as Mpumalanga representatives.

We are blessed with very Professional Coaches which yielded a very strong team in the field. We usually have four teams. A Junior and
Senior Girls Team and a Junior and Senior Boys Team.  There are excellent
young athletes and together with our very strong senior teams,  the next year looks very promising with very
strong competition.  There are three categories in which athletes can participate. The first is the
local league meetings between all the High Schools who participated at the Inter High, plus a few smaller nearby schools, who also participated. In total, 12 schools participate. The
winners of this league will then participate in the North Vaalmeeting where the country’s strongest cross country schools compete.

The second category is the individual championships in Mpumalanga where every athlete in his or her respective age group
compete. This is the way to the SA’s. Ligbron athletes qualified for the SA’s during the last few years

The Ligbron athletes are truly enthusiastic and big successes are being expected again, as in the past.
