The final day of NISS T&F brought some good results.
Chris Chambers competed in the Senior Boys 2km Steeplechase and finished in 3rd place in a personal best time of 6:28.80 - that's 12 seconds faster!
Another runner to gain a PB was Oliver Foley in the Senior Boys 1500m. Finishing strongly, he reduced his personal best time by 3 seconds to record 4:03.46!
Bryn Espin, unwell with sinus, put in a valiant effort in the Intermediate Boys 1500m, finished in 12th in 4:19.20.
In the junior girls triple jump, Zara Redshaw was just 2cm shy of her best performance, with a distance of 9.64m. Team-mate Matilda Johnson finished 7th overall with 9.15m.
Zara also competed in the discus, coming in 8th with a respectable throw of 24.61m. ... See MoreSee Less
Taranaki Secondary School had their smallest team ever competing at the North Island Secondary Schools Track & Field champs in Takapuna this weekend. A team of 9.
However, this did not detract from some good performances being recorded.
The highlight would have to be the determined running by Tayla Sturgeon in both of her track events today. First she won the Junior Girls 300m after a sprint finish, then went on to take second place in the 800m. Two races - two personal best performances!! 41.87 and 2:18.50 respectively.
Bryn Espin raced in the Intermediate Boys 800m where he finished in 3rd 2:00.10. In the same race, Lachlan Wills place 11th in a personal best time of 2:08.79
Zara Redshaw made it through to the Junior Girls 80m hurdles final (13.73) only to hit the last hurdle and fall heavily onto the track. She managed to pick herself up and finish the race in 8th.
Charlotte Taylor competed in both the long jump and 100m in the Junior Girls grade. Despite two no jumps, she managed a third jump (4.55m) which place her 8 overall. In the 100m heats, she finished in 5th (13.61) but did not qualify through for the final.
Newcomer to the sport, Calvin Brophy, cleared 1.45m in the Junior Boys high jump for 8th and jumped 4.55m for 11th in the long jump.
Matilda Johnson was our last athlete competing in the field events for the team today. She jumped 1.40m in the Junior Girls high jump in 10th place.
In the Senior Boys 800m, Oliver Foley was checked in the early stages which cost him valuable time, and he was unable to get back the deficit. He finished the race in 2:08.63
