Multiple records tumble at Otago and Southland Athletics Championships

PicturePHOTO CREDIT - Otago Secondary School Sport
Expect a strong contingent of local athletes at the upcoming South Island Secondary Schools Athletics Championships at Dunedin’s Caledonian Ground.
No fewer than 21 records tumbled at this past weekend’s Otago Regional Championships at the same venue, while several more were also broken at the equivalent Southland secondary school athletics meet.

In cool conditions, much of the action ran hot in Dunedin.  Several athletes broke two records apiece. On the track, Nathan Hill (Otago Boys’ High School), Zoe Smith (Mt Aspiring College) and Josh Hou (John McGlashan College) all broke two records, while Jackson Toms (Otago Boys’ High School), Zharna Beattie and Hamish Mears (both Taieri College) also set dual records in jumping events.

In another notable record, 3000m race walker Alex Brown (Kings High School) lowered his personal best from 17.58.65 to 16.32.75.

Meanwhile, several records also fell at the Southland Secondary Schools Athletics Championships on Friday and Saturday – including the Senior Girls Hammer throw record being broken four times in a single contest between Emma Ryan (James Hargest College) and eventual winner Dyani Shepherd-Oates (Fiordland College), who threw 45.81m on her final attempt.

Other Hammer records to fall included Ben Henderson (Southland Boys’ High School) in the Boys 16, Uilealea Lavea (Southland Boys’ High School) in the Boys U15 and Skye Singer (James Hargest College) in the Girls U14 record.

Dannika Collins (Southland Girls’ High School) broke the Girls U16 100m record, dating back to 1999.
Jaxon Taylor (Southland Boys’ High School) set a new U16 1500m record of 4:20.51, beating the previous record dating back to 2000.

The New Zealand Athletics Championships are in Hamilton this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, featuring some of these top performers and others around the country in the junior division.

Top performers from the Southland championship will meet the best from the Otago schools at the Otago-Southland championships at Surrey Park in a fortnight, ahead of the South Island Secondary Schools Championships in Dunedin on 1 April.
