Athletics weekend

We were at athletics competitions on both Saturday and Sunday.

First up, on Saturday we had the regular McKinnon Shield competition.  Mulan and Miya both competed, while I decided to have a rest day.  The results are here.

Miya cleared 1.35m in the high jump

and just missed 1.40m:

Mulan got a new wind-assisted PB of 4.59m in the long jump:

Both girls jumped well enough to get onto the latest Auckland ranking lists.  Miya's 1.35m is on the Women's Under 14 high jump list, while Mulan's fourth best jump of the day (4.29m) had a legal wind and got on the Women's Under 16 long jump list.

Then on Sunday Miya competed at the CNW (Central-North-West Auckland) children's interclub relay competition.

Our club, Takapuna, has a lot of competitive girls in Miya's grade (12), and Miya didn't make the team.  But we don't have many Grade 14 girls, so Miya was offered a spot to make up the numbers in a fun team.

They competed in the 4x100m relay, 4x400m relay and field relay.  Miya did the shot put section of the field relay, getting a new PB of 6.88m.  And since there were only three clubs competing in the grade, Miya's team came away with three bronze medals!
