Welrè Olivier, in Auckland before the Sir Graeme Douglas International Presented by Harcourts Cooper & Co, provided some of the best triple jumping seen at Mt Smart since the 1990 Auckland Commonwealth Games.

While not up to the record breaking form of last week in Christchurch where he set a New Zealand resident record of 16.33m, Olivier did soar out over 16 metres with a wind assisted 16.04m.

Olivier was not greatly impressed with his workout.

“Not greatly impressed with my jumping today, but I’ll take it, it was alright.

“The wind wasn’t a bother it was just my timing wasn’t correct so I couldn’t have it the way I wanted it to be.

“The New Zealand record in Christchurch was a lucky jump as I had the legal wind, but the same thing there my timing was out.

“I’m basing myself here in Auckland for the next week and I’ll activate a bit more for the Sir Graeme Douglas meeting,” he said.

Then it is the nationals in Wellington and back to South Africa.

Joseph Millar was sharp in the 60 metres edging out Kadin Taylor in 6.95. Taylor came back later in the day to win the 100m in 10.60. Zachary Orbell a week after setting a T35 Para Athlete 100m record of 13.57 lowered the record further to 13.46 +1.5. Mark Lambert set a New Zealand masters M50 100m record of 11.56 +2.0. This breaks former All Black Bruce McPhail’s 1987 record of 11.57. Wayne Holroyd M47 recorded 54.74 over 400m.

In the Auckland junior mile championships Leo Green set an Auckland B11 record of 5:02.91, breaking Liam Back’s 2014 record of 5:10.53. And Leah Marais set an Auckland G13 record of 5:10.14 breaking Julia Giurgiu 2014 record of 5:27.97.

Caleb Wagener held on well to the pace provided by Luke Hitchcock in the mile to finish second to Hitchcock in a fresh Auckland under 18 record of 4:11.80. This breaks Mathew Mildenhall’s 2005 time of 4:14.13.
