Fafeita provides highlight of Wairarapa successes

Field event specialist Courtney Fafeita provided the highlight of a series of outstanding Wairarapa performances at the Wellington senior track and field championships held at Newtown Park on Saturday.
Competing in the women's 16yrs grade Fafeita demonstrated her versatility by winning the shot put, discus, javelin and hammer throw.
The 9.68m which won Fafeita the shot put was a personal best effort as was her javelin throw of 22.10m. She also recorded impressive displays in the discus (37.44m) and hammer throw (25.58m).
Michael Wilson recorded the fastest times in both the 100m and 200m for the men's 19yrs and senior grades.
He clocked 11.02 in the 100m where he was hampered by a surface
still wet after overnight rain and his 200m time of 21.98secs was
just 0.04secs outside his personal best. Renee Braggins was 5secs inside her previous best time in winning the women's 16yrs 3000m in 11mins 42secs and Josh Greig won the men's 16yrs high jump with a leap of 1.70m and was placed second in the discus, shot put and hammer throw.
William Simpson won the men's 16yrs 200m in 23.57secs in a race which saw the first three placegetters separated by less than 0.05secs, Cameron Sinclair won the men's 19yrs 400m in 54.16secs and Zac Sinclair won the men's 19yrs walk in 16min 58secs.
