WELL DONE to all those competitors who raced the Athletics Taranaki Mountain champs yesterday.
We were blessed with a lovely, fine day although it didn't help that much with the rather slippery downhill sections!
Thank you to everyone who help set up and pack in the course, and to those who carried the gear back to the cars. It wad a great team effort which was very much appreciated.

My apologies for the late update on the Athletics NZ road champs on Saturday.
Taranaki athletes certainly held their own at the champs earning ten medals amongst them.
Gold medals went to Mckenzie Reed (U16 Women 5km walk), Cath McCarten (MW45 10km walk), Justin Reed (MM45 10km walk), Natasha Jensen (MW45 10km) and Joy Baker (MW75 10km).
Silver medals went to Casey Mante (MW40 10km), Nathan Foley (MM40 10km), Richard Brewer (MM60 10km), and Kevin Knowles (MM65 10km.
And the Bronze medal went to Jamie Reid (Master Men 35 10km).
Congratulations to all who took place, whether in the championship races or non-championships. It was great to see Taranaki well represented!
