New Zealand 10,000m Championship, The Agency Group 10,000m Festival, Newtown Park – 19 November 2022
Hannah Miller and Julian Oakley both collected the national 10,000m title and in the process each bettered the performance standard for selection to the World Cross Country Championships in Bathurst, Australia in February.

Laura Nagel provided the perfect pace in the women’s championship, setting Miller up for a clear run through to the finish in 34:25.26 four seconds under the standard of 34:30. Sarah Drought was second in 34:36.41, followed by Olivia Witney 35:00.41 and the defending champion Lisa Cross 35:48.55. Three times national 10,000m champion Sally Gibbs (59) recorded 37:40.29.

Miller capped an outstanding year of racing adding the latest title to the marathon in May, the 10km road title in September and the half marathon in October.

Oli Chignell led the men over the first 7km at the required pace giving Oakley a good crack at the time. Oakley clocked a PB 29:19.36, 25 seconds under the standard. Oakley won the Festival race last year in 29:39.73.

The next three also set a personal best Eric Speakman 30:07.66, Nathan Tse 30:17.14 and Ronan Lee 30:26.36. Christopher Dryden the 2018 U20 champion was fifth in 30:30.98.

Otago’s Reuben Beard debuted over the 25 laps in 32:32.76 for the under 20 honours. Sixteen-year-old Max Doherty of Olympic Harriers was impressive with a first time 10,000m of 33:08.97 to win the open A grade race.
