CGA Athletes

Over the past two weeks the CGA students have been participating in Track and Field. On March 25^th the school team competed against 5 other schools from around Mbita town. They participated in 100 m, 200 m, 400 m, 800 m, 1500 m, walking race, shot put, discus, and long jump. The CGA students displayed their God-given talents that they have been developing under the guidance of Teacher Erick.

Some of the outstanding performers from CGA in the base athletics event were Lourine Akinyi in the 400 m race (2^nd place), Perpetua Odoyo and David Ouma in Shot-put, Duke Omboga, Calvin Otieno and Lucy Adhiambo in Discus and several in the walk-race including Shenklaid Okeyo, David Ouma, Peres Adhiambo and Mike Odhiambo.

Two CGA students stood out from the rest. Ronald Ouma finished 3^rd in the 1500 m race and won the 400 m. Phylice Akoth took first place in 3 different races including 400 m, 800 m and 1500 m. It was an outstanding performance that drew praise from the throngs of fans watching.

A few days later, all of these CGA students who were mentioned above moved on to the next level which was the Zonal competition. Now they were competing against other top performers around the Mbita West Zone. Perez Adhiambo managed to finish 6^th in the walking race. Phylice Akoth reached the 3^rd position in both the 800 m and the 1500 m while Ronald Ouma also took 3^rd in the 400 m.

Perez, Ronald and Phylice moved on to the District level Friday where they competed against all of the best athletes from all over Mbita District.

CGA is proud to be represented by its students at such a high level.
