McKinnon Shield Meet 28 October
McKinnon Shield Meeting, Mt Smart Stadium – 28 October 2023
National junior 100m and 200m champion in 2020 and 2021 Tommy Te Puni won the 60m in a quick 6.79 into a 2.2mps head wind. This is just outside Hamish Gill’s 2019 Auckland record of 6.76. Te Puni then went to the 400m and raced in a field of just three. He took advantage of the strong tail wind in the back straight scorching through the 200m in 21.5 and dug deep on the home run into the wind, running close to Callum Taylor’s Auckland record of 46.13 and Shaun Farrell’s New Zealand record of 46.09, both set in Wanganui on 7 March 1998. But alas the electronic timing failed to record first place and just second Joe Dolphin 49.35 and Kahurangi Cotterill third in 50.14. Te Puni was variously hand timed at under 46 seconds and in one case 45.7. The national record is on the cards for Te Puni in his next outing over the distance.
