We had a very successful 2024 SAARA National Championship that was hosted by the Western Cape Province on 27 and 28 September 2024. As expected, we did not have a high turnout, but our top athletes were all present with some excellent shooting, particularly from our ladies and both the 10m Olympic final matches were exciting and closely contested matches.

The 2024 National champions for the various disciplines are:

Anke Cronje – 10m Sporter Women

Charl Kotze – 10m Sporter Men

Isabella Cilliers – 10m Olympic Women

Dylan Drysdale – 10m Olympic Men

Thanks to the Western Cape team for hosting a fantastic event, the SAARA exco who assisted and worked in the background to make sure everything is ready, the officials on the range and working in the stats office that kept thing going. A special thanks to the provinces, athletes and parent for your participation and support.

Congratulations to all the winners and participants for the excellent sportsmanship. You can all be proud of your achievements at the match and throughout the year in preparation for Nationals.
