Auckland Secondary School Athletics Championships – 17 & 19 March

Year 13 prefect Lisa Hellyer delivered an outstanding performance at the Auckland Secondary School Athletics Championships, winning gold in the Senior Girls 800m.

Competing on day two of the championships, Lisa was the first medalist for Onehunga High School. She won the race in 2:14.03, finishing five seconds ahead of second place. After controlling the pace through the first lap, she made a decisive move with 200 metres remaining to break away from the field and secure the win.

This result adds to an already impressive season, with Lisa recently winning the New Zealand Under 20 800m national title.

Unfortunately, Sarah Hellyer was unable to compete at the championships due to injury.
