Hanlie Murray, the General Secretary of the USSA Athletics Executive Committee, was delighted with how the championship was conducted. "I am thrilled with the planning and the execution of the tournament despite having a little scary moment with the weather on Saturday morning," said Murray. On the final day of the championships, the teams arrived with severe thunderstorms and heavy rain, which caused a Three-hour delay. Murray also explained the criteria and requirements for a student to qualify for the Fédération Internationale du Sport Universitaire Summer Games, which will be held in Chengdu, China. "The athletes must compete in the USSA Championship and meet the qualifying times and distance at the various track and field events; also, the student-athletes have to be bona fide and be between 18 to 27 years of age," said Murray. Murray added that Twelve (12) USSA records were broken, and Eight (8) of them were through relay races in which the University of Johannesburg dominated them.

North West University was more dominant on the field events as most of their athletes showed power, precision, and strength as they were leading throughout day One (1) and Two (2) of the championship, but that all changed on the final day of the events where the University of Johannesburg showed why they are the best in the country in athletics. UJ won their 100,200,400m races, and one of them was through their star-athlete Lythe Pillay; Pillay ran in an astonishing 45.85s in the 400m final and was named the 400m champion. Pillay was selected to represent Team South Africa at the FISU Summer Games but has withdrawn from the USSA team due to his European games Commitment in August. "I am very honored and privileged to be selected, but I want to stay committed to the European Games in August, and that is my current plan and target," said Pillay.

UJ came second in both (Men’s and Women’s) 4x100m races in 39.89s and 45.25s, respectively. UJ Manager of Athletics, Roger Haitengi, was proud of the team’s performance but indicated that the work started a year ago through pre-season, "The preparation started last year in June through our off-season training which commences to a couple of weeks before USSA Championships, and we focused on the recruitment of new athletes as we needed to develop them slowly, and it only showed at this Championships" said Haitengi. Haitengi added that the team took the points through the track events and most jumping events, such as the long and triple Jump. Haitengi indicated that the reason for the team’s success in the USSA championship was the teamwork being able to work together as a unit, "We Twelve (12) different coaches, but when we are on track and field, we speak as one, and that’s the beauty about this team, we can support one another and cheer for one another as a unit" said Haitengi.

North West University Athletics Manager, Terseus Liebenberg, is proud of the team overall performance but was heartbroken with the final result of the USSA Championship, "The team did exceptionally well, and they gave it their absolute all, I thought we clinched it, but UJ stole it from us at the last minute," said Liebenberg. Lienbenberg indicated that to be truly sure that you win the Athletics Championships, a team needs to score at least 350 points to be confident of the win, and that’s what UJ managed to do. Lienbenberg added that a team needs to have athletes that can have the stamina and strength to do multiple events, as each point from each event is critical, “Every point is vital in every event, and you need to have at least an athlete in every event to have a chance even if it means a athlete must compete in multiple events,”said Liebenberg. Liebenberg made an example of a standout athlete that made him proud, NehengKhatala, Khatala ran the 5000m,10 000m, and Half-Marathon, which she all won, but she was only expected to do the 5000m. Liebenberg said she told him she did that because she wanted to show appreciation to the University for what it has done for her. NWU gave Khatala a full bursary to fulfill her studies.

UJ came first with a nail-biting score of 350 points, NWU A came second with 307 points losing it on the last day and University of Pretoria came third with 299 points.
