This 32-year old Chartered Accountant South Africa [(CA)SA] employee completed the 56 km ultra marathon in a time of 03:41:23 and was the first South African woman to clinch the title in 14 years.
Wöstmann resides in Pretoria and is a lecturer in finance and management accounting at Wits University.
"I trained on my own, but after I did so well in the Comrades last year, I decided to take it more seriously, and engaged Lindsey Parry from the High Performance Centre (HPC) in Pretoria as a coach," she says.
Chantyl Mulder, Executive Director: Nation Building at SAICA, who also enjoys running as a sport, is ecstatic about Wostmann’s win.
"Caroline is a shining example of how versatile our members are.
Sport is one of the avenues that help to build a nation, and her achievement epitomises what nation building in our profession is all about."

SAICA is proud to have such a valuable member in its fold - someone who also embodies the SAICA tenet of responsible leadership. I am sure that this quality will be handed down to her students," says Mulder.
