WINNER: Meg Edwards dominates the 14-year-old girls 80m hurdles final.<br />
Gold medal exploits<br />
earn scholarships<br />
TWO RISING track stars<br />
from the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Athletics<br />
Club have received<br />
prestigious Nick Willis<br />
scholarships following<br />
their medal-winning<br />
exploits at the South Island<br />
Colgate Games.<br />
Meg Edwards and Jody<br />
McCarthy-Dempsey could<br />
also not be separated in<br />
the 14-year-old girls 80m<br />
hurdles final in Invercargill<br />
last weekend, sharing the<br />
gold.<br />
McCarthy-Dempsey also<br />
won the long jump in her<br />
age group while Edwards<br />
was a member of the silver<br />
medal-winning 14-year-old<br />
medley relay for boys and<br />
girls.<br />
The scholarship, named<br />
after the five-time Olympian<br />
and two-time 1500m<br />
medallist, covers $500 of<br />
athletics gear.<br />
Rolleston-based junior<br />
athletes aged 10-14 thrived<br />
during three days of competition<br />
to claim 15 gold<br />
medals, 14 silvers and 13<br />
bronze.<br />
Connor Woodcock was<br />
the most prolific champion,<br />
winning gold in the<br />
11-year-old 100m, 200m<br />
and 400m.<br />
FAMILIAR FACE: Former All Black Ma’a Nonu<br />

Isabel Prescott also<br />
won two of her events in<br />
the 11-year-old age group,<br />
the 800m and 1500m<br />
double.<br />
There were 35 other<br />
top-eight finishes while<br />
squad members aged<br />
between seven and nine<br />
were awarded 25 pennants.<br />
A team of 11 athletes also<br />
headed to Wellington for<br />
the North Island Colgate<br />
Games from <strong>January</strong><br />
7-9, where the squad<br />
again performed with<br />
distinction.<br />
Edwards again dominated<br />
the 80m hurdles<br />
while Molly O’Reilly<br />
showcased her versatility<br />
by winning the 14-year-old<br />
girls 2000m race walk before<br />
being part of the silver<br />
medal-winning 4x100m<br />
relay squad.<br />
Woodcock also left the<br />
capital with a haul of silver<br />
from the three races he<br />
won down south.
