There were several winning efforts from Wairarapa athletes on the second day of the Wellington track and field championships at Newtown Park, Wellington.

The 200m races saw Simone Small, Andrea Williams and Finn Yeats all win their age groups with Small and Williams also successful over 400m, a distance over which Stevie Paine won the women's 20yrs title in a slick 59.89. Daniel Anstis won his AWD (athletes with disability) events over both 200m and 400m and Tony Price won the men 55yrs crown over 3000m.
