Career
In his earliest international outing, Fredericks won a bronze medal in the 110 metres hurdles and a silver medal in the 400 m hurdles at the 2006 Gymnasiade.[2] He was fifth in the 400 m event at the 2007 World Youth Championships in Athletics and improved to fourth place at the 2008 World Junior Championships.[3][4] Later that year he ran at the 2008 Commonwealth Youth Games, coming second in the 110 m hurdles and helping the South African 4×400 metres relay team to fourth place.[5] In his final year of junior competitions, he won both the hurdles events at the 2009 African Junior Athletics Championships as well as a silver medal in the relay.[6]
He came second in the 400 m hurdles at the 2009 South African Championships behind Wouter le Roux and won the national universities title. As a result, he competed at the 2009 Summer Universiade where he finished fourth in a personal best of 49.93 seconds.[7] The 2010 season saw him established himself as a senior athlete. He won first national title in the 400 m hurdles with a clocking of 49.70 seconds. He improved his personal best several times that year, culminating in a run of 48.79 seconds to take the silver medal at the 2010 African Championships in Athletics, completing a South African 1–2 alongside the event winner L.J. van Zyl.[8]
Fredericks was beaten by van Zyl at the 2011 South African Championships, but left the competition with a significant improvement on his personal best (48.14 seconds).[9] On the circuit he was runner-up at the Doha Diamond League meeting and won in Tampere and at the KBC Night of Athletics.[10] Fredericks entered the 2011 World Championships in Athletics as the fifth fastest 400 m hurdler of the year and he matched this ranking with a fifth-place finish in the 400 m hurdles world final.[11][12]
