Big News! Our girl has qualified for the Hyrox World Championships at just 17 years old!

Kia ora,

Our girl, 17-year-old Coco Holland-Waterson, is making waves in the world of hyrox! She recently won the Open Women’s Division Overall and placed 2nd in the Pro Division at Hyrox Auckland 2026, which are incredible achievements that highlight her as one of New Zealand’s upcoming high-performance athletes. This amazing effort qualified her for the Hyrox World Championships in Stockholm, Sweden, in June.

Coco had to decline her Worlds spot this year due to costs, but she’s fully focused on Hyrox Brisbane, training hard every day, staying disciplined, and chasing her dream of competing at the elite level. She is determined to represent New Zealand on the world stage for many years to come.

Balancing school, deputy head girl duties, and the mental and physical demands of intense Hyrox training is no easy feat. On top of that, Coco works part-time and is committed to using her own money to fund as much of her trip as possible.

Competing at this level comes with high costs, including race entry fees, travel, accommodation, recovery, nutrition, and equipment.

Your support could help turn hours of training into the opportunity to chase a dream and compete at the highest level. Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference.
