Auckland Athletes heading to U.S. College
From July and August this year, 13 Auckland athletes in the middle distance and distance event group, will be leaving New Zealand to attend a U.S. College.
Athletics Auckland wishes these athletes all the best with their academic and athletic development over the next 3 to 4 years. We also wish to recognize the coaches that have worked with these athletes in recent times and the other coaches that would have assisted these athletes as they progressed in the sport. Not forgetting also, the athlete’s parents, the AAI Centre (Events and Aspire academies), Clubs, and other coaches that would have supported these athletes over the years.
