Thursday, 28th March 2024 at 9:50am

Lauren Barrett-Hamilton (Yr 12) is continuing her winning streak, securing Gold in the Auckland Secondary Schools' Athletic Championships, held at Mt Smart Stadium yesterday (Tuesday 26 March).

Lauren placed 1st in the Intermediate Girls' Triple Jump with 10m.9 and although this was not her personal best (11m.25 Triple Jump achieved at the Nationals in Wellington 16, 17 March) she was still a hop, step, jump ahead of the rest! Lauren also added two more Golds, (and PBs) to her impressive record in the Intermediate Girls' High Jump (1m.62) and 80m Hurdles (with a time of 12sec.41).

Congratulations also to:

• Isabella Haigh (Yr 12) placing 3rd in the Intermediate Girls' 300m Hurdle, and competed in the Intermediate Girls' 80m Hurdles
• Maksis Maulvurfs (Yr 13): 2000m Steeplechase
