BUBI district has released a 78-member squad for the forthcoming National Association of Secondary School Heads (Nash) Matabeleland North inter-district track and field athletics competitions that get underway at Mosi -oa-Tunya High School in Victoria Falls tomorrow.
The event will be jointly held with the primary schools’ equivalent.
“We have been in camp since Monday last week and we are now ready for the provincials where we hope to do well,” said Nash district head-in-charge of athletics Cain Ncube.
Accompanying the athletes will be nine coaches, five technical officials as well as the Nash district chairperson Khumbulani Sibanda, the headmaster of Somvubu High School.
Sibanda expressed satisfaction with the team’s preparations during their camping period.
“Our training time was sufficient, it was flowing. We are satisfied with the technical knowledge imparted to our athletes and as Bubi district we are ready to compete,” said Sibanda.
The team leaves for Victoria Falls this morning.
Meanwhile, Mosi -oa-Tunya High headmaster Roland Sibanda said they are expecting more than 1 500 athletes and officials for the two-day event.
“We are expecting 1 500 athletes and officials and about 4 000 plus spectators because this resort town has sport loving people,” he said.
He said they had invited officials from the Matabeleland North provincial education directorate as well as the seven district schools inspectors and school heads from the entire province.
