Champions We've Developed
Lerato M.
When I joined ART OF RUNNING Academy three years ago, I had never competed in athletics. Today, I'm a provincial champion with university scholarship offers. AOR didn't just make me faster. They taught me I can be an athlete AND a scholar. They showed me that where I come from doesn't determine where I'm going.
- Gauteng U16 800m Champion (2025)
- 2:16.42 personal best (provincial record)
- National Championships qualifier
- School honor roll (85% average)
- Multiple university scholarship offers
Thabo M.
I joined AOR in Grade 9, failing mathematics. They didn't just make me faster—they made me smarter. Now I'm at university on a full scholarship studying engineering. AOR changed my life.
- Full academic + athletics scholarship to University of Pretoria
- 400m provincial finalist
- Matriculated with Bachelor's pass
- First in family to attend university
