Adams leaves for her base in Switzerland in two weeks, where she will resume her training with coach Jean-Pierre Egger as she eyes a fourth world title.
Jacko Gill was similarly dominant in the under-20 shot put, blitzing the field with a throw of 20.53 in his first competition since December last year. Gill opted to only contest the junior title at the championships having only just recently commenced full training after ankle and hand injuries disrupted much of his season. The two-time junior world champion described his performance as an "okay starting point" but said he'd hoped for more, despite being hampered by inflammation in his problematic right hand.
"I was aiming for over 21m to be honest - I wasn't that happy with that," the 18-year-old said.
Gill broke the knuckle of his middle finger last year and the injury appears to have flared up again, spreading to his index finger.
While he battles the problem with his hand, Gill said he will stick to the junior events, with the 6kg shot easier to manage. On Friday he flies out to Sweden for a month to visit his girlfriend and will compete in a couple of local events while there.
Bitterly disappointed with her showing in Friday night's 100m final, hockey star Anita Punt will wait to see how she pulls up this morning before making a decision on whether she'll run the 200m on the final day of the track and field nationals.
Hyped as one of the title favourites in the glamour event after her stunning early success in the track, the Black Sticks striker finished fifth in final behind sprinters she had beaten in previous events.
In hindsight her bid for a national title may have been a little too ambitious. Punt only returned from the Black Sticks five-test tour of Argentina a couple of weeks ago, and was said to still be feeling the effects of the gruelling travel and playing schedule.
