South Africa’s most exhilarating schools’ athletics meet, the PUMA School of Speed Series, will boast three events in 2021! Entries are open!
“We are excited to open entries for the 2021 PUMA School of Speed Series,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports. “The pandemic has impacted all our lives and our children have not been spared with school sports being postponed on numerous occasions. After a very exciting 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, SA’s junior track & field stars are hungry to compete, and the PUMA School of Speed Series is the perfect event to curb that hunger. Launched in 2016 with a clear goal to identify South Africa’s exceptional talent, the PUMA School of Speed Series delivers on all promises. The Meets are fast paced and action-packed.”
In closing, Meyer adds: “We are proud to give our junior track & field stars the opportunity to compete against top competitors at a world-class event. Together with PUMA we look forward to continue growing this sensational sport in South Africa while paving the way for ‘Future Stars’.”
“We are excited to continue supporting the exhilarating sport of track & field,” says PUMA Marketing Director Brett Bellinger. “Launched in 2016 and headed by the World’s Fastest Man, Usain Bolt, the goal of the PUMA School of Speed is to identify exceptional young South African athletes. The energy experienced at the PUMA School of Speed Meets is unsurpassed and we can’t wait to see SA’s junior track & field stars in action ready to prove that their future is #ForeverFaster.”
