Today’s A-Programme started 2 hours later than normal to dovetail
into the Agency Group 10km races.
Over at the throwing area Sir Peter Jack held court while
the shot-put competition progressed. His lordship sat in his portable throne frequently
passing comment on the worthiness or otherwise of the efforts of his Kiwi Athletic
club-mates, and others.
On the track there were reasonable entries in the various
races which I suspect has a lot to do with the NZ Secondary Schools T&F
champs coming up in a few weeks. This and the fact there will be a regional
league meeting at Newtown Park next Saturday is enough to bring them out.
The 800m was especially popular with 4 heats required.
Neville Paul had a group of Wellington College kids in this event including the
Martin brothers who both won their heats.
The 3000m by contrast only had two finishers,
Jim Jones and Sam Williams. This is a little surprising since this distance is
the longest track event at the secondary schools and is generally quite popular
with kids with more endurance than speed.
Sean Pay got to 1.92m at the high jump but couldn’t nail the
1.97m height today. I understand his best is just over 2.00m so it all seems to
be working at this stage of the season.
