Lanham Jumps into Second in South Island

By Michael MacKenzie | Posted: Tuesday March 31, 2026

Tom Lanham jumped an impressive height of 1.70m to place second in the U15 boys high jump at the South Island Secondary school athletics champs held in Christchurch last weekend. This was even more remarkable with Tom the only athlete to do this bare footed.

Matamatanonofo Taua also represented the Trinity in the U20 Girls shotput and finished a very credible 8th with a throw of 9.73m which was a personal best.

Congratulations to you both, you are awesome.
