Competing against some of the country’s top young talent, Ulilitha secured 6th place in both the 100m and 150m finals — an outstanding achievement at such a highly competitive level.

Her performance comes after a dominant showing at the Provincial Primaries Athletics Championship held on 27 February , where she claimed first place in both events and broke the 100m record, earning her selection to represent Mpumalanga.

Congratulations to Ulilitha on this incredible achievement.
