Chederick van Wyk (born 18 February 1995) is a sprinter from Prieska, a remote and rural town deep in the Karoo in the Northern Cape of South Africa
Van Wyk won the silver medal during 2019 IAAF World Relays, with the African record in the 4 × 200 metres relay.
During the 2019 Universiade in Naples, he won two more silver medals, 100 m and 200 m, just behind Paulo André de Oliveira. [1] [2]
Van Wyk was part of South Africa’s men’s quartet at the Tokyo Summer Olympic games in 2021 including Clarence Munyai, Shaun Maswanganyi and Akani Simbine. Munyai and Maswanganyi struggled to exchange and dropped the baton and therefore did not finish (DNF) the race and failed to progress to the final. [3]
