There were more medals for Gisborne veteran athletes at the 30th New Zealand Masters Games in Whanganui this week — notably a 16-medal haul across five sports by multisporter Pete Lamont.
He opened with a triathlon bronze in the 60-plus age group, followed with a silver in a14-kilometre kayak river race, then won gold and two silvers over 500-metre to 2000m distances in indoor rowing, and a bronze in a sprint duathlon in the city centre.
He capped this with two successful nights in the pool, scoring a gold, five silver and four bronze medals in his age group over a range of distances, strokes and medleys.
Fellow 60-plus multisporter Dave Conway won 200m and 500m kayak sprint silvers, a gold in the 14-kilometre river race and a silver in the duathlon.
