International Track Meeting, World Athletics Continental Tour Bronze & Auckland Events
Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub – 24 February 2024
Josh Hawkins, eight times national sprint hurdles champion set the scene for record breaking and meeting record packed programme. After two false starts, Hawkins was quickly into his stride with a faultless clearance of the barriers to clock a time of 13.93 in the 110m hurdles. Tatsuki Abe of Japan won in a meeting record 13.71 +2.0 from compatriot Tetsuro Nishi 13.73. Hawkins in third shaved a hundredth of a second off his New Zealand resident record set in winning the national title in Wellington last year.
Hawkins was stoked with the outcome. “It was the perfect set up for a fast time. It is so good to have the boys come over. I just took the momentum from that,” he said.
