2011 was a challenging year for the Wits Athletics Club, however a big stepping stone to be remembered. We registered 87 Wits student members, a 74% increase from 2010. In April 2011, the club competed in the USSA Track and Field championships held at the Univ. of  Stellenbosch's Coetzen Stadium. The club also sent 6 athletes to the USSA Cross Country championships in Potchefstroom in September 2011. On 31 July, the Wits Athletics Club together with Varsity Kudus  and Wits Alumni held a Wits road race which attracted approximately 1,700 athletes.
