Varsity Athletics will wrap up its 2016 season at Coetzenburg Athletics Stadium in Stellenbosch on Thursday, 7 April 2016.

Athletes from the participating universities lit up the UJ Athletics Stadium on 18 March, with the University of Pretoria (Tuks) coming out on top in the A section. 

Despite finishing fifth, Maties had some podium highlights and most of these athletes will also be in action at Coetzenburg. 

Jean-maré Senekal won the 400m hurdles for women, Justine Palframan won the 200m for women and Pierre Malherbe won the men's 5000m. 

Cameron Donkin took silver in the men's discus while Samantha Pretorius took silver in the women's long jump. Dante de Wet won bronze in the men's javelin event and the women's 4x100m relay team of Senekal, Pretorius, Janke van Wyk and Shannon Arendse came second.

The Varsity Athletics series winner for 2016 will be determined at the second meeting – will it be Tuks, or will there be a brand new winner?
