Not long after winning the Rhodes University Sportswoman of the Year title, Natalie Ross was the first South African to cross the finish line at the recent 2012 International Triathlon Union (ITU) Age-Group World Championships. She was one of three athletes from Rhodes who tested their limits against more than 3 000 competitors at Queens Wharf in Auckland, New Zealand, last Monday. Ross finished 39th overall in the 20-24 age group category in a time of 2 hours, 37 minutes and 31 seconds. She swam the 1.5km swim in 31:34, cycled 40km in 1:17:08 and ran the last leg of the race, a 10km run, in 41.39.
Rhodes University Squash Club members and Grahamstown residents were among more than 40 000 players registered to take part in the World Squash Day Challenge.
A total of R10 000 was handed over to the Hoerskool PJ Olivier disaster fund from last Thursday's Rapportryers/PJ Olivier 5km fun run/walk.
