Athletics Auckland has completed a further $34,000 investment in maintaining international quality equipment, for athletes to use, with the installation of new pole vault mats.
The “mats” are different in that 12 component foam blocks are enclosed in one cover bag; there is no need for a topper pad; there is no likelihood of falling between mats.
A great outcome for Auckland athletes.
Athletes & Supporters Team Wear now available to purchase Online
The GO! Series Grand Final is this Saturday 14th March at Massey Park in Papakura from 4.30pm to 7.30pm (note new time, something to do with Council approval).
Entries close midnight on Wednesday 11 March 2026 at the link below.
Auckland athletes continued their medal tally on the last day of competition at NZ Track & Field Champs 2026!
Even if you did not receive a medal, you did Auckland proud and should hold your head up high.
A big thank you Chris, Ally and Judy who ensured the athletes were well fed and rested throughout the 4 days, and for keeping the officials and photographers hydrated. You are definitely the A team and deserve the biggest medal of them all.
And lastly, from Athletics Auckland, thank you to all the volunteers and officials who assisted throughout the weekend. Without your help this event could not have been possible.
