In all New Zealand <strong>Athletics</strong> finished with 2 bronze, one to<br />
Dalton in the 200m and one to Chei in the shot. The best<br />
result and silver medal to Greer in the Triple Jump. Every<br />
New Zealand Track and Field Athlete made a final in at<br />
least one event. It all looks very promising for a young<br />
group of New Zealand Men and Women heading into their<br />
Athletic futures.<br />
Monday a cultural day was held where all the athletes had<br />
an opportunity to experience some of the Manx culture.<br />
Travelling to Castletown by steam train groups of athletes<br />
toured the Castle trying cultural dress, dance and song,<br />
archery and <strong>games</strong>. Returning again by stream train to<br />
explore local Douglas shops. The evening saw us all<br />
attending the closing ceremony with BBQ dinner, live<br />
performance and bands, and the passing of the<br />
Commonwealth Games flag over to Samoa the next hosts<br />
of the Commonwealth Youth Games.<br />
A great time was had by all and the desire for future<br />
international competition was enhanced.<br />
