Based on his sub-11-second performances I would give Zac Topping the male sprinter of the year award The female sprinter of the year is almost impossible to determine. How do you split the performances of Addirra Collette, Chayelle Collette, Monique Gorrie and Kimberley Walsh? All are championship titleholders and worthy winners. I’m going to sit on the fence and make it a joint award to Addirra and Chayelle Collette. It is a lot easier looking at the male hurdler of the year. The award goes to Braxton Kauri and the female award to Juliette McKinlay. Winning a senior national title means Kara Macdermid is our female distance runner of the year. The male award is a toss up between Noah Macdermid and Benjamin Wall, with Wall just ahead.
