Support Me On My Athletics Journey

Hello! My name is Zach Saunders, sport captured my interest from a very young age and I took every opportunity to participate in as many sports as I could before finding my feet in athletics. My passion for athletics grew, becoming part of the Pakuranga Athletics Club at age 12, I haven’t looked back since.

In recent years, I have specialised and focussed on developing as a sprinter, particularly in the 200-metre sprint, winning New Zealand Under 18 and Under 20 age group titles which led to competing at several international meets, notably the incredible opportunity of participating at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, where I represented my country of birth, Jersey.

Later this year I am planning on travelling back to Jersey, to target the UK National Championships at the end of June. This will ultimately expose me to some of the best and most competitive environments in athletics in search of further developing my craft as a sprinter with goals of future pinnacle events such as World Championships, Commonwealth Games and the Olympics.
