Williams top performer in Swakop

RYAN Williams from the Windhoek Hochland Sport Club (WHSC) was the best performer at the Coca-Cola Athletics Club Challenge in Swakopmund over the weekend.

Williams, who is only 18 years old and already set a senior Namibian senior record in discus throw of 45,95m last year, came close to his record with a distance of 43,23m, to comfortably win the men's discus. He finished well ahead of Clark Seibeb of Omaruru Sport Club (34,73m) and Dirk Potgieter of WHSC (31,97m). Williams also won the men's shot put with a distance of 13,55m, with Seibeb coming second (11,39m) and Felix Makumbi of Nampol third (11,32m). The rest of the performances were not that great though, with none of the athletes coming close to existing national records.
