Thursday December 14 2023 7 Boys’ High put their best foot forward • By Sam Coughlan A BRILLIANT team effort from Christchurch Boys’ High School has won them an historic double in the New Zealand secondary schools track and field championships at Ngā Puna Wai. Both the junior and senior boys 4x100m relay teams took gold – in what is believed to be a first for the school. Boys’ High head of athletics Mike Drury said he believes it is the first time the school has done the ‘double.’ “I’ve been checking the archives and to my knowledge it is the first time we’ve done this. It’s really special, the senior boys were narrowly beaten last year so a few lads from that team were determined to go better this year.” They were backed up by the junior boys 4x400m relay team picking up bronze, to cap off a successful weekend for the school who also saw discus thrower Finn McLeod take gold in the senior event, followed by teammate James Moore who took silver. Drury said Boys’ High had worked hard on improving their throwers – athletes who do discus, shot put, and javelin. “Last year we started a thrower programme so this is our second year with the group working to that goal of a medal. “It was the first time we’ve won GOLDEN: Christchurch Boys’ High School saw multiple successes at the schools track and field championships. Senior boys Hunter Scott (middle podium, left), Jordan Veitch, Harry Williamson and Sacha Tahi stand on the winning podium after taking first in the boys 4x100m relay, and Finn Hawkins runs during the 4x100m junior relay.

Papanui High School were also successful, with Lee West and Adi Pathak taking out the junior boys para long jump and senior boys para shot put respectively, while Daniel Wordsworth was first in the year 9 3000m road race. Una Kinajil-Reding won the senior girls para shot put for Rangi Ruru, which also saw twin sisters Zara and Eliza McDonnell finish 1st and 2nd in the junior girls high jump. Riccarton High School’s para athlete Connor Carston took gold in the junior boys para 100m race and shot put.
