Outeniqua Harriers honour all of their champions

Prize-givings are known for long lists and polite applause.

But the Outeniqua Harriers flipped the script on Thursday evening, 27 November, when two of their standout athletes, Willard Jussah and Jeanetta van den Berg, walked away as the club's sportman and sportwoman of the year.

The Van Kervel Lapa in George buzzed with pride as the Harriers celebrated not just results, but a season of grit, growth and genuine club spirit.

Johannes Brink was named junior male athlete of the year and Varity Marnewick the junior female athlete of the year.

A special moment in the evening was the awarding of honorary memberships to the club's treasurer, Sakkie Stofberg, and Comrades maestro Louis Massyn - two pillars of dedication in the Harriers family.
