Team Ledger Harcourts Capital Classic, Incorporating New Zealand under 20 mile championships, Newtown Park – 4 February 2022
Tori Peeters highlighted the annual Team Ledger Harcourts Capital Classic sending the javelin out to 60.51m, an improvement on her New Zealand resident record of 60.14m set in Hamilton in December. It is the 27 year old’s second best ever throw and her fourth over 60 metres. The five times national champion has a best of 62.04m from the Sydney Track Classic meeting two years ago.

Caitlin Bonne and Abbey Moody also relished the favourable throwing conditions with personal best throws of 46.72m and 45.80m. Holly Robinson F46 was out to 36.70m and Maddie Wilson a PB of 35.69m.

Head winds down the main straight thwarted any chance of sprint records being set. Tiaan Whelpton made it his fifth victory over 100m this season clocking 10.43 -1.8. Cody Wilson was second in 10.83.

Zoe Hobbs won the women’s 100m in 11.46 raced into an even stronger wind of -3.2mps. Anna Percy was second in 11.88 and 15-year-old Talia Van Rooyen coming in third in 11.89 faster than her previous best of 11.96 at the Cooks Classic meeting.

Hobbs had earlier teamed up with Percy, Rosie Elliott and Georgia Hulls in the 4 x 100m relay setting a meeting record of 44.77, just outside the New Zealand resident record of 44.60.

Hulls later won the 200m in 23.85 -2.6 from Elliott 24.08 and Amy Robertson 25.35. Twenty minutes earlier Robertson had taken out the 100m hurdles in 13.78 -1.7.

Zachary Saunders won the 200m in 22.01 -3.2 after competing in the 4 x 100m relay with Hayato Yoneto, Whelpton and Wilson where they recorded 41.27.

Tom Walsh with his second round effort of 21.01m claimed the meeting record from Ryan Ballantyne in the shot put. Ballantyne set a record of 19.85m in 2020.

Lauren Bruce was out to 68.78m with the hammer and Nicole Bradley cleared 67.54m.

Holly Manning added the Capital Classic women’s 800m to the Potts Classic victory. Manning recorded 2:06.57.

James Harding fresh from his 4:08.26 clocking in the mile at the senior championship in Whanganui ran a well-judged race to win the resurrected national junior mile championship in 4:10.50. Will Anthony attempted to outrun the field as he did in the 3000m championship but Harding struck in the back straight on the last lap and went on to take the title, the first since Rod Dixon won in 1969 in 4:19.8. Anthony recorded 4:11.48 with Karsen Vesty third in 4:13.92.

14-year-old Boh Ritchie of Hamilton debuted over the mile distance with success winning the inaugural national junior women’s title in 5:02.69. Compatriot Jemima Antoniazzi was second in 5:04.26 PB and Feilding’s Emma Ferguson third in 5:06.20 PB.

Julian Oakley continued his winning ways in the 1500m in 3:45.19. Russell Green was second in 3:47.58, two seconds ahead of Harry Ewing. Laura Nagel set a meeting record of 4:19.90 in winning the women’s 1500m from Anneke Grogan PB of 4:21.77 and Kara Macdermid 4:22.98.

Keeley O’Hagan won the women’s high jump with 1.83m while the men’s high jump went to Marcus Wolton clearing 2.08m. Hamish Kerr came into the competition at 2.24m but missed in his three attempts.
