Revised 2023 Jennian Homes New Zealand Track & Field Championship entry standards

Following a review of entry standards for the 2023 Jennian Homes New Zealand Track & Field Championships at Newtown Park, Wellington 2-5 March we have eased the standards across 13 events.

A review was carried out after a concern was raised that some standards were too difficult, notably in the senior women’s events.

Athletics NZ CE Pete Pfitzinger said: “We reviewed the standards based on feedback received and made the decision to ease standards in certain events. We look forward to high participation at our new-look four-day Jennian Homes New Zealand Track & Field Championships, which will have a newly introduced under-16 component to sit alongside our traditional senior, para, under-20 and under-18 divisions.”
