The Marlborough senior men’s relay team of Dave, Adrian, Remy and Joseph continued their recent dominance, claiming the prestigious McConachie Baton.

The Marlborough junior men’s relay team of Alex, James, Ronan and DJ also won their event.

Nelson retained the McConnell Cup, most points in under-17 grades, and also won the Daly Cup for senior women’s relay.

The Mawhera Shield for out- standing performance of the meet was awarded to Annika Pfitzinger from Nelson for setting a new record in the women’s 3000 metres (9.53.94). Second-placed Kathy Dunbar also went under the record. Some changes are in the pipeline for 2024 with a proposal to re-align age grades with those recognised by Athletics NZ (under-16, under-18 and under-20) and to also introduce two masters grades (35-49 and 50+).
