Your support will help elevate me onto the World Stage

Manawatu / Whanganui

I am a year 13 U18 runner who has been selected for the NZ Secondary Schools Cross Country Team and we are heading to Kenya for the Worlds in May 2024. Your support will help me reach the heights of Nairobi and experience training in a world class facility with other elite athletes.

I have been selected as part of the 2024 NZ Secondary Schools Classics Tour Team for the NZ Summer Track Series.

I am the current U18 New Zealand National Title holder for 2000m Steeplechase and have been selected as part of the 2024 NZSS Track & Field Team to attend the U18 Australian Championships for steeplechase in April in Adelaide.

I am the current U19 New Zealand Title Holder for Aquathlon (1km swim, 5km run) and hoping to be selected for NZ to represent in the Multisport Worlds competition in Australia in August 2024.

I am working 2 jobs, completing my year 13 (and leading the school as Head Girl) but still need your help to get me there. I volunteer as a lifeguard at my local beach and train Juniors both in the pool and at the beach. I am a local Horowhenua Girl who is dedicated to my training and prepared to put in the work. I can't wait to represent New Zealand on the World stage.

I made it to South Africa  2 May 2024

Thanks again for your support - I made it to South Africa. It is hot (30 degrees) and I went for my first training run which I definitely felt the higher Altitude. We visited the NWU Campus Sports Facility yesterday which is an amazing facility. We have 9 days here in South Africa before we head to Nairobi for the main event. Lots of time to keep the training up.
