New Zealand Track & Field Champs Day 2 Results
Olympic and World shot put champion Valerie Adams finished off her down-under competitive season with a New Zealand all comers and resident record of 20.54m. It was Adams eleventh national shot put title.
In perfect conditions in front of a bumper crowd Adams opened with 20.33m, fell out of the front in the next round with the record coming in her third attempt. This added 21 centimetres to her records set at the Auckland championships last month. Her national record set overseas is 21.07m. “I came out today to try and break my own resident and all comers record; I’m really happy with my series, the best series this season, I’m pretty stoked to throw 20.54m today,” said Adams. “Competing in New Zealand is always hard to get out for, but hey man if I can do it here I can do it anywhere.”
Jacko Gill knocked off another world age record in the shot put claiming the world record for 16 and 17 year old with the 6kg shot with his performance of 21.34m. This improved on his own 16 year record of 20.76m and bettered the 17 record of 21.08m set by German David Storl in 2008. While pleased to get another couple of records Gill was disappointed he didn’t get out to 22.73m which would also give him the 18 and 19 records. “I definitely wanted a lot further today, but there are a lot of other opportunities to do it,” said Gill. “There are a few technique things that are wrong,” he added. Tom Walsh provided plenty of competition for Gill coming second with 19.91m.
Double silver medallist at the Delhi Commonwealth Games Nikki Hamblin comfortably won the first of her double title defenses the 800m in 2m 5.49s. She competes in the 1500m today.
Alex Jordan of Tasman was outstanding in the senior 400m winning in the third fastest time by a New Zealander of 46.40s.

Day 1 NZ Track & Field Champs
Nick Willis was able to turn a training run into a New Zealand title win when he overcame the blustery cold conditions at the Caledonian Stadium in Dunedin today.
After a slow start, Tony Payne eventually moved through to set some form of pace from the front. But after 2000m, Willis took control and soon had the field running in his wake.
Willis battled the head wind down the main straight each lap and worked hard on the remaining 300m each lap coming home in a time of 14m 34.32s.
Luke Hurring won the race for second in 14m 42.06s with Tim Hodge third in 14m 43.48s.
“My coach said to be brave and just get a good hard work out, so I’m proud of myself,” said Willis.
“Titles are all that matters at the nationals and I managed to pick up my third senior title so I’m very happy,” he added.
Willis won the national 1500m title in 2006 and in 2008.
Carl Van der Speck of Auckland collected his third senior 100m title in a row, clearing away from a strong field mid way down the straight to clock 11.07s. Isaac Tatoa of Auckland was second with Tim Jones of Canterbury third.
Andrea Koenen of Auckland won her first senior 100m title in 12.37s, from defending champion Anna Smythe of Otago and team mate Rochelle Coster.
Philip Jensen of Wellington, who won his first national hammer throw title 23 years ago, chalked up his seventeenth win in the event with a throw of 59.04m.
Matt Baxter of Taranaki ran an outstanding 8m 30.68s for the conditions to win the M16 3000m.
