We also want to highlight the incredible achievement of Kazadi Kadima, who set two new records on the day. Kazadi broke the boys' 15 years 800m record, which had stood since 1997, and the boys' 15 years 1500m record, set in 1998. In a truly remarkable performance, Kazadi shaved 10 seconds off the existing 1500m record, finishing in a time of 4:17.82. This is an outstanding feat—well done, Kazadi!

What an incredible day for GSSC athletics!
