AUCKLAND

Sir Graeme Douglas International presented by Harcourts Cooper & Co – Continental Bronze Meeting, Douglas Track and Field, Trusts Arena Waitakere – 20 February 2022
A pair of New Zealand national and resident women’s records highlighted the eighth annual International meeting in Auckland on Sunday.

Portia Bing opened the meeting with a masterful display in the 400m hurdles clocking 55.50, breaking her New Zealand national record of 55.86 and her resident record of 55.99. Sally Gunnell holds the all comers record of 55.38 set at the 1990 Auckland Commonwealth Games. Bing’s time was a B performance standard for the Commonwealth Game and just outside the A performance standard of 55.40, which is also the standard for the World Championships.

Bing said that she was stoked as it puts her back on the world rankings list and in a nice position leading into hopefully competing at the World Championships and the Commonwealth Games.

Anna Percy, Rosie Elliott, Georgia Hulls and Livvy Wilson teamed up in the 4x100m relay recording 44.20 to equal the New Zealand national record and better the resident record of 44.60.

Elliott was outstanding at the meeting finishing second to Zoe Hobbs in the 100m in 11.37 and convincingly winning the 400m in a personal best 52.99. The sprints were dominated by Tiaan Whelpton in the men’s 100m in 10.21 +2.5 and by Hobbs in the women’s 100m in 11.18 +2.1. Zachary Saunders (18) was second in the 100m in a top performance of 10.67.

Hamish Kerr achieved the Commonwealth Games A standard in the high jump of 2.30m and had three unsuccessful attempts at 2.34m, the standard for the World Indoor Championships and a centimetre below the entry standard for the world outdoor championships. Keeley O’Hagan won the women’s high jump with 1.80m.

Seventeen-year-old Lex Revell-Lewis continued his fine form this season heading in a strong field in the 400m in a personal best 47.49. He had earlier clocked a PB 100m of 10.81. 800m specialist James Preston ran a PB of 47.87 in finishing second.

Middle distance victories went to Julian Oakley in the 1500m in 3:42.47 and Laura Nagel with a decisive win in the women’s 1500m in 4:15.37 (PB).

Hayden Wilde after earlier pacing the men’s 1500m easily won the final event on the programme the 5000m in 14:10.71.

Maddison-Lee Wesche was out to her third best ever shot put of 18.49m and Tom Walsh who holds the meet record of 22.67m extended the 7.26kg shot to 21.26m.

Olivia McTaggart cleared 4.45m in the pole vault and Nick Southgate was over the bar at 5.00m. Southgate holds the meet record of 5.30m. Tori Peeters improved on her meet record of 54.47m set last year with a javelin throw of 56.50m.

Felix McDonald won the long jump with 7.30m, Douw Botes the 700g javelin throwing a PB 56.85m.

In the Para Athlete 100m Mitch Joynt recorded 11.93 and Anna Steven 14.08.
