Callum MacFarlane (10) was second in his 800m heat but suffered ill health in the fi nal. He was ninth equal in the high jump. Blake Cooper (11) jumped by way his best of 4.43 in the long jump, fi nishing sixth out of 56. Mercemilane Morales (11) was ninth in the 1500m, Carlin Leong (11) missed his 800m fi nal by one place, and Bergert Conradie (10), Rob Barclay (12) and Georgia Harrison (11) all made sprint semi-fi nals. Athletes aged seven to nine competed in heats or divisions with no fi nals. Chicayla Scholes-Daysh excelled winning her 60m, 100m and 200m heats, along with placing second in her long jump. Kelsie Barclay and Georgia Cooper were both second in the long jump, with Juanita Scholes- Daysh second in shot put. Green says there were numerous other good ef- forts just outside the placings. He hopes many of these athletes can make the trip to next year’s event in Wellington. Athletics recommences this year on Tuesday February 8 at 5.30pm.
