On Saturday, 17th November, the much-anticipated Braeburn Kasarani Athletics Meet 2023 unfolded, treating spectators to a spectacular showcase of track and field prowess! The event brought together 20 schools, creating an atmosphere of friendly competition and sportsmanship.
Athletes from these schools passionately contested in an array of events, including the 75m, 100m, 200m, 800m, and 1500m races, as well as a high jump, long jump, javelin, discus, triple jump, and the thrilling 4x100m relays. The competition was fierce, and the dedication and skill displayed by participants were truly commendable.
Braeburn made a remarkable leap from last year's standings, climbing from 7th overall to a joint 2nd overall position this year. The Under 9 team emerged as the undisputed champions in their age category, showcasing consistent high performances across both track and field events.
This year marked a milestone with multiple medal wins in field events for Under 9, Under 11, and Under 13 categories, with outstanding achievements in javelin, high jump, and long jump. A special mention goes to Farah in Year 4, whose exceptional talent saw her break and set a new Under 9 Girls' high jump record, elevating it from 1.10m to an impressive 1.14m.
The success of The Braeburn Kasarani Athletics Meet 2023 is a testament to the dedication of our athletes, the guidance of our coaches, and the supportive spirit of the Braeburn community. Congratulations to all participants and winners for making this event a resounding success. We look forward to nurturing and celebrating the continued excellence of our athletes in the years to come!
