Sport Gisborne Tairāwhiti is excited to announce the Tairāwhiti Rising Legends squad for 2024. Tairāwhiti Rising Legends (TRL) is an initiative aimed at recognising, acknowledging and supporting the development of talented young athletes within Te Tairāwhiti.
The 2024 squad features the most females since the inception of Rising Legends —
eight females, along with two males.
“This year's application process was very competitive,” Sport Gisborne Tairāwhiti talent lead Carl Newman said.
“This is the most applications we have ever received. It's great to see so many leading female athletes in the district.”
Back for their second year in the squad are Lily Arnold for trampoline, Lucy Millar for sailing, Cleo Parkin for judo and Hannah Webb for kayaking.
