These athletes will now have to focus on the Manawatū and North Island secondary school championships. ♦ The masters athletes were more fortunate because their national championships were last weekend in Inglewood, and only the final day needed to be adjusted to meet Covid-19 regulations. Brayden Grant performed well, winning gold medals in the M35 grade in the 60m, 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m events. His winning time in the 400m of 50.16 seconds was a national record. Andrew Matsuoka Webber was second in the 100m, 200m and 400m races. Hayden Robinson won the M40 400m and was third in the 100m and 200m races.
