WCSC Cycling Final Race - SACS standout riders delighted

WCSC Cycling Final Race. SACS Cyclists Blaze to National Finals After WCSC Season Finale.

This Past weekend marked the thrilling conclusion of the WCSC cycling calendar, with the final race taking place in Cape Town.

SACS riders Geoffrey Dickson (Grade 12), Thomas White, Luke Schonegevel, and Jack Cumming (all Grade 9) have been standout performers throughout the season. Their consistent efforts earned them spots at the National Finals in October. There, they will proudly represent both SACS and the Western Cape.

Luke delivered an impressive performance, finishing 4th in his age category. This is further proof of why he was selected to represent Western Province at Nationals. Thomas, unfortunately, suffered a fall that dashed his podium hopes. Geoffrey and Jack both rode solid races, finishing just outside the top ten in their respective categories.

A special commendation goes to Geoffrey. He lined up at the start despite being in the middle of his MOCK exams—with a Mathematics paper looming the very next day. His determination and commitment are a true reflection of the SACS spirit.

We also celebrate newcomer William Vorster (Grade 9), who made his racing debut. Starting from the back of the pack, William battled his way forward to finish ahead of more than half the field. This is also a promising start to his journey in SACS cycling.

SACS Fietsryers Skitter by WCSC Finale en Behaal Nasionale Plekke

Hierdie naweek het die opwindende afsluiting van die WCSC-fietsrykalender in Kaapstad plaasgevind.

Geoffrey Dickson (Graad 12), Thomas White, Luke Schonegevel en Jack Cumming (alle Graad 9) was vanjaar SACS se uitblinkers. Hul volgehoue prestasies het hul plekke verseker by die ‘Nasional Finals’ in Oktober. Daar sal hulle beide SACS en die Wes-Kaap met trots verteenwoordig.

Luke het met ’n indrukwekkende 4de plek in sy ouderdomsgroep geëindig. Dit is ’n bevestiging van die rede dat hy gekies is om die Westelike Provinsie by die Nasionale kampioenskappe te verteenwoordig. Thomas het ongelukkig geval en kon nie vir ’n podiumplek meeding nie. Geoffrey en Jack het albei sterk ritte gelewer en het net buite die top tien geëindig.

’n Spesiale vermelding gaan aan Geoffrey, wat aan die wedren deelgeneem het ten spyte van sy MOK-eksamens—met ’n Wiskunde vraestel wat die volgende dag op hom gewag het. Sy deursettingsvermoë en toewyding is ’n ware voorbeeld van die SACS-gees!

SACS vier ook die nuweling William Vorster (Graad 9), wat aan sy eerste wedren deelgeneem het. Hy het van die agterkant van die groep af begin en hom deurgestry om voor meer as die helfte van die veld te eindig —’n belowende begin van sy fietsryreis by SACS.
