Rekords spat by Hoffie huissport
Klerksdorp Midweek, Klerksdorp - Laerskool La Hoff se atlete het ‘n kragvertoning by die eerste atletiekbyeenkoms vir die jaar gelewer met 15 rekords wat gebreek is. Die blitsige Lyla Smit het die tonge los met drie nuwe rekords agter haar naam. In die 80m vir meisies o/11 het sy ‘n rekord wat al 40 jaar staan in skerwe laat spat. Dié rekord is in 1984 deur Karen Visagie opgestel. Oud-Hoffie Karen (nou van Aswegen) het dit op Facebook raakgesien en die jong atleet gelukgewens met die prestasie.
“Ek as oud-Hoffie is trots op jou my skat. Sterkte vir jou atletiekloopbaan vorentoe.’’
