Sprinter Zoe Hobbs (Ngāruahine) claimed an eighth straight national title in the women’s 100m in Wellington on Friday evening, easing to victory in 11.13 seconds.
Hobbs summed up her race as “pretty solid”, adding “You can’t beat ‘Welly’ on a good day”.
“[I] had some friends and family and my partner here to watch, so it’s always special to race at home in front of them.
“I don’t get many opportunities now to run in New Zealand with much of my racing overseas. So it’s always special to have everyone and all of my people here.”
