Pawarenga's Nga Hoe Horo waka ama team have made their intentions clear in the first few days of the Te Wānanga o Aotearoa National Waka Ama Sprint Championships on Lake Karāpiro.

The Far North team have claimed multiple medals after three days of competition at the Waikato-based event. Its junior men's team, Black Broncos, took out the six-person 1000m race by six seconds.
