The NISS Athletics Champs were held in Inglewood from 7 - 9 April and our Dio athletes who finished in the top three or four (in some events) at the Waikato Bay of Plenty Athletics Champs were selected to represent the Waikato/Bay of Plenty team at this event. We were once again blown away by how well our athletes did at this event and this was highlighted with Arden Mason winning the Intermediate Hammer with a personal best throw of 43.15 metres. Congratulations to all of you who took part and were selected to compete at this event. Below is a summary of our athletes achievements.
