Report from Athletics New Zealand
History was made at the Capital Classic in Wellington today as Hamish Kerr snared the outright New Zealand men’s high jump record courtesy of a stunning world-leading outdoor leap of 2.31m.
The 24-year-old Christchurch-based athlete has been knocking on the door of capturing the mark for himself – which he had jointly held with Glenn Howard at 2.30m – throughout a highly promising season.
At both the Night of 5s meet in Auckland in December and Cooks Classic in Whanganui last month, he produced some tantalisingly close attempts at New Zealand record marks and tonight the ice-cool high jumping ace delivered in style.
