Athletics Auckland has completed a further $34,000 investment in maintaining international quality equipment, for athletes to use, with the installation of new pole vault mats.
The “mats” are different in that 12 component foam blocks are enclosed in one cover bag; there is no need for a topper pad; there is no likelihood of falling between mats.
A great outcome for Auckland athletes.

Eliza McCartney was presented the Peter Booker Trophy as the Auckland Athlete of the NZ Track & Field Championships meet as her 4.81m vault was a record height for NZ National Championships, surpassing the previous best of 4.80m that she achieved at the 2016 Nationals. It is currently the second best performance in the world for women's pole vault.
She has displayed great resilience, overcoming many setbacks in her career and always represents Auckland with pride. She also exemplifies great team spirit by supporting the other vaulters, watching and cheering on the Senior Men after her competition was finished.
Her mum, Donna Marshall, accepted the trophy on Eliza's behalf last weekend as Eliza is currently in Europe preparing for the World Indoor Champs. ... See MoreSee Less

You don't have to stop running just because the summer athletics season is coming to an end! Why not consider doing Cross Country this winter season?
