At this rate, we might need extra luggage space for all these medals! 😅🔥

Our young Lions have been on a mission at the SACA U18/U20 Championships in Mauritius, helping Team Botswana climb to an impressive 20 medals and counting.

⚡ Wazha Matakule wasn't just running, he was booking flights! ✈️

Oregon, prepare yourself. A Lion is coming. 🦁🔥

🥉 Tsaone Dintwa showed grit and class to claim Bronze in the 400m, proving that pressure is a privilege.

Then the relay squad decided one medal wasn't enough...

🥈 Tsaone, Wedu, Warona and Oarabile stormed to Silver in the Mixed 4x400m Relay.

And because the boys weren't done cooking...

🥇 Wazha, Jack, Lucky and Phatsima turned on the afterburners to grab GOLD in the U20 4x100m Relay! 🚀

Meanwhile, Agang Magang took the phrase "raising the bar" literally 😅

🥉 High Jump Bronze
