Athletics Auckland 1. Are these Pent Champs the NZ Champs for Snr athletes, or Auckland Champs? 2. Will the Auckland Pentathlon Champs for Masters be later on in the season, as in recent years?

🙌 Wagener 4th at Junior Worlds! 🤛
New Zealand has a new, genuinely world class swim, bike and run prodigy to cheer into the future with Caleb Wagener finishing just two seconds off the podium at the World Triathlon Junior (U19) Championships in Spain on Thursday.
The 18-year-old Aucklander was in the sprint distance race from the get-go, 5th out of the water and later off the bike before fighting all the way to the finish line in a blistering 5km run to claim a brave 4th.
They call it the “chocolate medal” in triathlon and knowing the competitive nature of the teen, he won't be satisfied being so close to the podium. But there's little argument with regard to Wagener’s pedigree at the U19 level. His 4th in the world’s premier junior tri race comes just 15 months after he claimed the Junior World Duathlon title at the same venue.
Coached by Ironman triathlete Ben Hamilton, Wagener was right in the mix for the medals until eventual podium getters Thibault Rivier (SUI), Dinis Ferreira (POR) and Jelle Kaindl (AUT) made their move on the final ramp up into Pontevedra’s Old Town, splitting a group of seven into three.
Wagener never gave up the fight through and was closing fast on bronze medallist Kaindl.
Wellingtonians Connor Kemp and Theo Bray were 48th and 62nd respectively in their maiden world championships.
Earlier, Wagener’s Auckland City Triathlon Club team-mate Indie Williams was the best of the four Kiwis in the Junior Women’s race, placing 32nd. It was a impressive result from the Chris Willett-coached Williams in what was also her first world championships and bodes well given she has two more years in the category.
Palmerston North’s Hayley Cornwell had been 13th out of the water, a place ahead of Brisbane-based Hawke’s Bay team-mate Sophie Webber, and then fought her way up to 9th heading out onto the run, just 30 seconds adrift of runaway leader Fanni Szalai (HUN).
Unfortunately, Cornwall suffered a dizzy spell which required her to stop early on in the 5km run. She eventually finished 36th ahead of Webber in 41st and Canterbury’s Charlotte Chiles in 49th.
The Team NZL age group team pick up the baton overnight in the World Triathlon Age Group Championships sprint triathlon.
The elite action at the World Triathlon Championship Finals resumes on Friday (local time) with the U23 World Championships. Henry McMecking and William Taylor will represent New Zealand in the men’s race from 4:35am NZ Time Saturday.

Good luck to the athletes competing in the World Triathlon Championship finals!🌎 World Triathlon Junior Championships - Thursday 👇
A seven strong elite junior squad and a gaggle of sprint focused age groupers will get New Zealand’s four-day World Triathlon Championship Finals campaign underway in Pontevedra, Spain on Thursday.
Sophie Webber, Indie Williams, Hayley Cornwall and Charlotte Chiles will line up in the World Junior (U19) Women’s Championship at 8pm NZT before Caleb Wagener, Connor Kemp and Theo Bray go in the Junior Men’s race from 9:30pm NZT.
Both races will be broadcast live on World Triathlon’s subscription service, Triathlonlive.tv. And YouTube. Timings are subject to change so check listings.
Wagener is New Zealand’s main medal hope. The Auckland 18-year-old is third seed behind Austria’s Jelle Kaindl and Ecuador’s Thomas Francisco Chica Perez for the Junior Men’s Championship after a buildup that recently included a runaway victory at European Junior Cup Derry. Cornwall was third in the junior girls Conti Cup race in Ireland, a timely confidence boost after a training ride crash just beforehand.
Wagener also has pedigree to call on in Pontevedra; last year he won the world junior duathlon championship at the same venue.
The World Triathlon Age Group Championships run parallel with the elite World Triathlon Championship Finals which culminate in Saturday elite women’s and Sunday elite men’s WTCS finals.
Hayden Wilde Athlete, Dylan McCullough and Tayler Reid Triathlete will race in the latter with New Zealand not represented in the women's race following Eva Goodisson withdrawal after she broke her left elbow in a bike crash at WTCS Karlovy Vary. ... See MoreSee Less
