Fantastic work there Catherine!

  • Shay Veitch (ODT sports supplement Mon 18th November 2019) “Shay Veitch is quickly turning into the star of the summer”. Quote: The 18-year-old Ariki athlete lifted himself to eighth in the senior national 100m rankings at the Caledonian Ground on Saturday. His time of 10.74sec, into a slight headwind, broke the personal best he set two weeks ago by 0.03sec. It was just his fourth competitive 100m race. He also ran 48.51sec in the 400m, ranking sixth in the country and the top for his age-group.
  • ODT Mon 19th Nov '19: Rising Star Veitch scoches his way up the ranking list https://www.odt.co.nz/sport/athletics/rising-star-veitch-scorches-way-ranking-list
  • ODT Sat 9th Nov '19: Shay Veitch strung together a run of incredible results at the Caledonian Ground in Dunedin over the past month.

    Last Saturday he ran a lightning 10.77sec 100m, to go with a 21.63sec 200m - which was marginally wind-assisted.

    He also put out a 7.19m long jump, while last month he clocked a 49.18sec 400m.

    Those performances rate alongside the best by any Otago athlete in many years.

    See article for further details: https://www.odt.co.nz/sport/athletics/hard-work-paying-veitch

    • Great work to Shay Veitch who Saturday 12th Oct '19 at the Caledonian Grounds with winning both the men's 400m and long jump. See article link below for further details.
