Stuart Farquhar Prevails
Double silver medallist at the Delhi Commonwealth Games Nikki Hamblin comfortably won the first of her double title defenses the 800m in 2m 5.49s. In the 1500m Katie Wright and Kellie Palmer tested her right to the finish. Wright led into the final lap and was still holding the pole line heading into the final straight, but Hamblin swung wide and with Palmer chasing hard on the outside was able to hold it to the finish in 4m 29.76s. Palmer was second in 4m 30.06s and Wright third in 4m 30.33s. Hamish Carson retained his senior 1500m title outgunning Hayden McLaren over the final lap.Alex Jordan of Tasman was outstanding in the senior 400m winning in the fourth fastest time by a New Zealander of 46.40s. He followed up yesterday with an equally impressive victory in the senior 200m in 21.33s.
Julian Oakley, son of Dame Susan Devoy, outkicked Jonathan Jackson to win the M19 1500m in 4m 1.38s. Coached by world championship representative Gareth Hyett, Oakley said he stuck to the plan set and proved that he had the speed when it counted over the final 80 metres.
Andrea Koenen of Auckland won the women’s sprint double, adding the 200m yesterday to the 100m won on Friday.
James Mortimer seven times New Zealand 110m hurdles champion moved up to the 400m hurdles with success winning in 50.83s, beating arch rival this season Michael Cochrane from Waikato.
