Auckland champion

At Mulan's age, athletics in Auckland is a bit like world boxing.

You know how it is, boxing has all those separate world champion titles -- WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO -- and so we can have four different world champions (in each weight division) at any one time.

It seems in Auckland we can often have three simultaneous champions in each athletics event.

A month ago we had the Auckland senior champs, where Mulan competed as an Under 16 Woman (I wrote about it here and here).

And then a couple of weeks later we had the Auckland children's champs, where Mulan competed as a Grade 14 Girl (I wrote about it here and here).

Yesterday was the start of the three-day Auckland secondary schools champs, where Mulan competed as an Intermediate Girl.

And in the intermediate girls triple jump Mulan is now reigning champion!  (We're still waiting for her oversized belt.)

Mulan's jump of 9.63m earned her first place, edging out the girl who beat her in the Auckland senior champs.  (The children's section doesn't do triple jump.)

Mulan also competed in the long jump, but it didn't work out quite so well for her this time.  Her 4.12m was less than usual, and placed her 13th.  That's the fun of competitions; each event is a new and fresh opportunity, and sometimes it works while sometimes it doesn't.

The results are here.

UPDATE 30/3/2022: Mulan is mentioned in the Westlake school newsletter here.
