Auckland Track and Field Championships, Yvette Williams Track Pakuranga – 4/5 February 2023
James Ford followed up a win in Wellington on Friday over 800m to take out the senior 400m title the next day in a PB 48.37.

He was straight out to the airport on Friday and on the 8pm flight back to Auckland.

“I got home about 10pm, woke up and headed straight out to Pakuranga for the 400m this morning,”

Ford pegged back Fergus McLeay in the home straight to win by six hundredths of a second.

“I went to the Capital Classic 800m to try and win and I was pretty stoked with that and I got a PB today, so pretty happy,” said Ford.

“I’m in good shape, I felt pretty decent after the 800m, so I thought I’d be able to bang out a good 400m today which I did.

“I’ll try and run a faster 800m at the Porritt Classic.”

Seventeen-year-old Ford is the national U18 800m/1500m champion and New Zealand Secondary Schools senior 400m/800m champion.

Briana Stephenson, who will debut in the heptathlon at the national championships in Whanganui on February 25/26, competed in three events, the long jump 5.65m, the high jump 1.70m and the 800m 2:26.33.

“So far so good in competing in all the events, jumping sprinting and running seem to be okay we just need to pull together the throws and the hurdles is a bit different as well. So we’ll see how it goes,” said Stephenson, the 2020 New Zealand long jump champion.

Stella Pearless led from start to finish grab the senior women’s 800m title in 2:09.44.

The former national junior champion, who has lowered her personal best to 2:08.23 and 2:06.02 within the last month, was hoping to run a bit quicker.

“It would have been nicer obviously not have it so windy, so I could have had more of a time trial. So 2:09 in those conditions is not that bad.

“I’m just happy to be back racing again, as I’ve had so many injuries, so it’s nice to be injury free,” she said.

Pearless will aim for the 800m and the 400m at the nationals.

The French U20 400m hurdles champion Loan Ville, 19, improved on her best 400m of 56.47 to a fresh PB of 55.35.

Ho Young Do added a centimetre to his New Zealand masters M60 high jump record clearing 1.56m.

WELLINGTON

Team Ledger Harcourts Capital Classic, Newtown Park – 3 February 2023
Incorporating the New Zealand senior 3000m championships:
Laura Nagel and Julian Oakley retained their national 3000m titles in convincing fashion.

Nagel came from behind with a devastating last lap to overhaul national mile champion Rebekah Greene to claim the title in 9:19.18. Oakley was equally impressive setting sail with three laps remaining to finish in 7:55.49.

Anneke Grogan set the pace taking Greene, Nagel, Hannah Miller and Tillie Hollyer. At the 1800m mark Greene took over and the race was down to her and Nagel. Greene finished second in 9:19.89 with Hollyer third in 9:31.89. Oakley added the 3000m to the 10,000m title he won at the Newtown Park track in November. Craig Lautenslager with a strong finish claimed second in a PB 8:06.75 from early pacemaker Eric Speakman who ran 8:06.93.

Tom Walsh continued his good form in the shot put posting a meeting record of 21.21m in the opening round, adding 20cm to his last year’s effort. All six attempts by Walsh were over 20 metres. Nick Palmer was second with 18.03m with Australian champion Aiden Harvey third with 18 metres. Para athlete Corran Hanning (NZ Secondary Schools team) also impressed with the 6kg implement setting a New Zealand U20 F12 record of 13.45m.

A meeting record went to Australian triple jump champion Ayo Ore, who was out to 15.60m beating Ebuka Okpala by just 4cm. Ethan Gow of Christchurch was third with 13.91m. Anna Thomson was well clear with 12.01m to win the women’s triple jump.

After slipping in the circle, Anthony Nobilo bounced back to send the hammer out to 67.48m, adding five centimetres to Philip Jensen’s 2003 meeting record.

Lauren Bruce was unable to find her rhythm in the first three rounds of the women’s hammer but impressed in the latter half of the competition, going out to her best effort of 65.63m in the final round.

Hamish Gill was an impressive sprint double winner in 10.40 over 100m and 21.18 in the 200m. Newcomer to the sprinting scene Dhruv Rodrigues Chico came back from being DQ’d in the 100m to finish second in the 200m in 21.24. Georgia Hulls claimed the women’s sprint double clocking 11.65 in the 100m and 23.61 over 200m.

Four-time Paralympic medallist and T36 athlete Will Stedman enjoyed a successful night claiming victory in the men’s para 100m in 12.72 before later recording a slick 25.55 to finish in top spot in the men’s para 200m. Double Tokyo Paralympic sprint medallist Danielle Aitchison finished first in the women’s 100m para event, registering 14.53.

In a re-run of the Potts Classic 800m, Holly Manning was again too strong heading in Jennifer Hauke and Stella Pearless in 2:06.62. James Ford scored a notable victory over Dominic Devlin in the elite men’s 800m in 1:52.52.

Joshua Hawkins smashed James Mortimer’s 2006 meet record to win the 110m hurdles record with an almost flawless display over the barriers, clocking 14.08. Anna Percy went close to her best in the 100m hurdles winning in 13.88. Alice Taylor scored a huge personal best in the high jump clearing 1.84m to beat Keeley O’Hagan 1.80m and Imogen Skelton 1.76m. Taylor later finished second in the javelin with a PB 37.14m to Tori Peeters, who sent the spear out to 59.12m.

The first three in the men’s high jump all cleared 2.03m, Rāfe Couillault winning on a countback from Adam Stack and Mate Poduje.

Natalia Rankin-Chitar won the shot put with a PB of 14.95m while Paralympic champion Lisa Adams with a mighty hurl of 14.73m claimed victory in a top-quality Para shot put. Behind, in second, there was joy for Sionnan Murphy who bettered her national U20 shot put F37 record with a throw of 8.54m.

Douw Botes won the javelin throwing a PB 65.51m.

Laura Langley was 20 seconds outside her best in the 3000m race walk in 13:56.58. Jonah Cropp won from Lucas Martin and Toby O’Rorke.

Sola Power Throwers Meeting, Woburn Lower Hutt – 4 February 2023
Paralympic champion Lisa Adams was out to her longest throw for two years of 15.18m with the 3kg shot. The 32-year-old superstar athlete gave a clear demonstration of her world-class gifts to dominate the women’s Para shot put competition and offer real optimism ahead of the World Para Athletics Championships in Paris in July. To put the performance of the reigning world and Paralympic shot put F37 thrower into context, Adams’ world record mark set in 2020 stands at 15.50m.

“I am really stoked,” she said. “I have gone through some changes following surgery and today was the furthest I’ve thrown for two years – and six centimetres further than winning gold in Tokyo.”

Sionnan Murphy bettered her national U20 shot put F37 record for a second successive day. The 17-year-old threw 8.72m. Natalia Rankin-Chitar won the U20 event with a best of 14.37m. Mikayla Sola (Lower Hutt) – daughter of event organiser, Shaka – won the U18 women’s shot competition with a PB of 13.49m. Faith Sola had a PB in the discus of of 35.76m.

Nick Palmer (Hastings) fired out his best effort of 18.72m in round six to claim a comfortable victory in the men’s shot from the improving Liam Ngchok-Wulf , who recorded a best of 16.99m.

Jack Lewer added 8cm on to his New Zealand open shot put F20 mark with the 7.26kg shot out to 12.03m. Para athlete Corran Hanning followed up his national U20 shot F20 record of 13.45m at Newtown Park on Friday with a best of 13.31m. However, in the men’s discus he exceeded his national U20 F12 record, firing the 1.75kg implement to an impressive 37.89m.

Jake Zaia, the 2022 national silver medallist of Titahi Bay, edged a close-fought senior men’s discus throw by 97cm with a best of 48.54m from Nathaniel Sulupo, the Samoan international. Zaia’s club-mate Lui To’omaga Tapuai claimed victory in the U18 division with a best of 40.11m.

Para athlete Millie Marshall-Kirkwood, 14, of Athletics Inglewood also enjoyed a day to remember in the women’s shot and discus events. She set five F57 records, two with the 3kg shot and three in the discus. Competing with the U20 implements she posted 5.11m in the former event to finish third on percentages – behind Adams and Murphy. Meanwhile, in the discus (1kg) she bettered each of her first five throws departing the competition with a best of 15.26m to point to a hugely exciting future in the sport. Sionann Murphy (F37) won the discus on percentages with a 22.55m throw.

Rankin-Chitar won the U20 discus with a throw of 49.73m. A 40.24m toss by Ana Ellison-Lupena of Titahi Bay earned her top spot in the U18 division.  
Australian Damian Wells claimed top spot in the men’s hammer with a best of 54.16m. The evergreen 55-year-old Phil Jensen, the 2002 Commonwealth Games silver medallist and 20-time national senior men’s hammer champion, grabbed second with 50.88m with 2022 New Zealand U20 silver medallist Max Abbot setting a PB of 48.76m in third.  

Alex Hewitt (Mana) shaded the U18 5kg competition with a best of 53.14m from Heath Abbot (Karori), who set a PB of 52.73m for second and Nikora Wharehinga-Sime third with a PB 46.03m.

Lexi Maples (Christchurch Old Boys) won the senior women’s hammer event with a best mark of 55.89m from Taieri’s Dyani Shepherd-Oates (53.52m). The respective national U20 and U18 champions dominated their age divisions with Elizabeth Hewitt (Mana) hurling the hammer out to 51.06m (U20) and Mikayla Sola (U18) taking top honours with 45.50m.

Kaleb Sola set a PB 53.42m with the javelin. Angus Lyver, the national U20 decathlon champion sent the 800g javelin out to a PB 56.39m, from Blaine Knapman 53.32m PB. Leala Willman set a PB of 36.92m to win the U20 women’s javelin.
