Velocity Athletic Club

Congratulations to our two master athletes, Margo Snyders and Tanja Juries, who proudly represented us earlier this month at the SAMA Championships in Germiston.

Tanja Juries competed in five events, while Margo Snyders took part in the throwing events, with both athletes delivering outstanding performances and achieving excellent results.

As Velocity, we are incredibly proud of your dedication, hard work, and commitment. Thank you for representing the club with such passion and determination. Well done to both of you!

Today we supported the Atlantis Secondary School Walkathon 5km event. Our hearts were still heavy, but our resolve was firm. We stood in solidarity with the family of Dayna-Lee Coetzee—a young life tragically stolen by the senseless violence that plagues our community's streets. To Dayna's family: we mourn with you, and we honour her memory by demanding better for our children.
Our stance is clear: we strongly condemn gangsterism and violence in all its forms. Every individual and organisation carries a weight of responsibility. Our children deserve to feel safe; they deserve a future. We are committed to restoring trust, rebuilding our spirit, and reuniting our communities. This is not just a moment—it is our ongoing mission.

🏆✨ WE ARE BEYOND PROUD! ✨🏆
What an incredible couple of weekends for our athletes across Cape Town! From the tracks to the field, our club showed up, showed out, and DOMINATED! 💪🔥
🌟 OUR YOUNG STARS ARE RISING!
Our junior and youth athletes brought fire and grit to the schools' competitions—competing hard, refusing to quit, and proving why the future of this club is BRIGHT. Your resilience inspires every single one of us. This is just the beginning of something special. Keep pushing, keep growing — your best days in this sport are ahead of you! 🚀
👑 NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT OUR CHAMPIONS AT THE WPA CHAMPIONSHIPS...
🥇🥇🥇 MARGO SNYDERS — 3 GOLD & 2 SILVER MEDALS!
(WPA Masters Championship – Throws Events)
Margo didn't just compete—she showed up! Three gold medals and two silver medals in the throwing events is good. This is what mastery looks like. We see you, Margo! 💥
🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 TANJA JURIES — 5 GOLD MEDALS!
(WPA Masters Championship—100m, 200m & Jumps)
FIVE GOLD MEDALS. Let that sink in. 🤩 Tanja was untouchable on the track AND in the jump events, sweeping gold across the board. Speed, power, and pure class — that's how we know Tanja Juries! 👏
🏅 NIEUWON TANGO — WPA SENIOR CHAMPION! 400m Hurdles
This young man's story deserves to be told. Just three weeks ago, Nieuwon faced serious challenges that would have stopped most people in their tracks. But he stepped onto that track with confidence, maturity, and the heart of a champion—and he RAN. He didn't just finish; he became the WPA Senior Champion in the 400m hurdles with a race that showed wisdom, strength, and composure far beyond his years. Nieuwon, we are SO proud of you! 🙌🔥
This club is not just a team. We are a FAMILY. And families celebrate together!
