It is a great privilege to welcome everyone back to the International Track Meet at Christchurch’s Nga Puna Wai Stadium.
Track is Back. We could not be more excited to have a new home to continue this special event.
From the fi rst few events at QEII to the nostalgic racing on Grass at Christ’s College, and to the innovative street events, The International Track Meet has been the premier event on the New Zealand Athletics Calendar, drawing world class athletes
from all over the world to compete against the best New Zealand has to offer.
I have no doubt we will see new Kiwi stars put their foot forward at Nga Puna Wai, and continue to keep the strong ITM tradition alive.
I welcome all athletes, offi cials, supporters, sponsors, and fans to this wonderful occasion, and wish you all the best on this exciting day that brings back our favourite track meet to Christchurch once again. May there be many more years to celebrate in the future.
The ITM team would like to take the opportunity to congratulate Nick who last month ran a Sub 4-minute mile – his 19th consecutive year of Sub 4’s – claiming the World Record. He was tied with Sir John Walker at 18 years.
Welcome to Nga Puna Wai for the 2021 (full) International Track Meet! We are delighted that you have all chosen to come and enjoy the action today. Thank you.
Today marks important milestones for International Track & Field Trust and ITM. This time a decade ago we were busy putting the fi nal touches on what was going to be our most successful meet to date. Alas, it was not to be, you can read about it later in these pages. One Decade On, from farewelling our “home” at QEII stadium we are thrilled to again have international standard facilities to assist our athletes development and our objectives. We are excited to begin a new chapter of International Track Meet / international athletics in the South Island at our new “home” at Nga Puna Wai.
We are very proud to partner with Athletics New Zealand and World Athletics to be part of the World Athletics Continental Tour to bring you a Bronze level meet, the highest equal one day meet in New Zealand. We aim to grow to Silver status, the highest level possible in Oceania. Finally, we are pleased to offer free spectator entry to the sporting public and families who have been through so much.
We would like to acknowledge the support received from our communities both local, sporting, and corporate for your incredible support through the various challenges we have faced over the last ten years. Many of you have shared this full journey with us for which we are grateful and appreciative. Winning Canterbury Sports Award Event of the Year in 2014 and 2016 was a real highlight and reward for your support. Thank you and congratulations must go to the volunteers, the sponsors, the offi cials, the athletes, and everyone who has worked so hard to bring this event to reality.
We hope that you enjoy your day today – make plenty of noise and give the athletes your support, they certainly appreciate it. Welcome back to New Zealand’s premier track and fi eld event.
Leyton, Paul, Craig and all the ITM crew.

“It’s the best damn running book I ever read.”Amby Burfoot, Emeritus editor, Runner’s World, USA
With rave reviews in America, Canada, UK, South Africa, Europe, and New Zealand, Roger Robinson’s ‘When Running Made History’ lifted running writing to a new level.
The author will be featured in the Featherston Booktown Karukatea Book Festival, May 2021.
“When Running Made History” is a vivid and varied eye-witness take on running from 1948 to 2018.
New Zealand is in a major role, with the “fi nest hour” of Snell and Halberg, the 1974 Commonwealth Games from the announcer’s box, the way running lifted Christchurch after the earthquake, and running’s role in New Zealand’s environmental leadership.
Available from Canterbury University Press, all good bookshops, or personally signed by the author, [email protected].
Retail $39.95.
This event proudly sponsored by: South Island-based independent livestock broking fi rm Peter Walsh & Associates is a business that revolves around the traditional values of honesty, integrity and hardwork. At Peter Walsh & Associates a handshake still carries weight.

WORLD ATHLETICS CONTINENTAL TOUR OVERVIEW
The World Athletics Continental Tour is an exciting new series of the best one-day Meets in the world outside of the Diamond League.
The Meets are all existing fi xtures and are a mix of privately-owned and national federation owned properties.
The Continental Tour in 2021 will begin in Christchurch at the International Track Meet, and run until September, criss-crossing the globe and each of the six (6) continental geographical areas to encompass more than 100 meetings throughout the world across the three categories. Silver is the highest level available in Oceania.
The Continental Tour is a showcase for the top athletes, it also provides the international competition and qualifi cation pathway opportunities for the majority of international athletes as they prepare for the year’s major championship, in addition to an important revenue stream for athletes.
The Continental Tour consists of three easily understood categories – Gold, Silver & Bronze – ranked by level of prize money, broadcast offering and overall quality.

100m PB 10.19s // Auckland
• Born in Auckland, the son of NZ National
Record holder Gus Nketia (10.11s)
• Shifted to Australia as a young boy, has
always called NZ home
• Focusing on athletics already
represented NZ at world championships
level but also has a potential rugby
career in his future
• Still only 19 years old, Eddie is one of the
world’s most exciting sprint talents
• Owns multiple NZ junior sprint records
including the M20 200m at 20.76s
100m PB 11.35s // Auckland
• Outstanding female sprinter, reset the
NZ Resident Record for 100m three times
in the last two years including a sizzling
11.35s just two weeks ago
• Has represented NZ at World Youths,
World Juniors, and in 2019 at the senior
level World Athletics Championships
over 100 and 200m
• Semi-fi nalist at World University Games

4x100m relay team at the 2019 edition in

• Gold Medallist at the 2016 Summer

100m PB 10.37s // Canterbury
• Born and raised in South Africa, Tiaan
has made outstanding progress in both
the 100 and 200 in his adopted home
• Personal bests have dropped
considerably in the last month,
highlighted by a 10.37s 100m PB in
Hastings two weeks ago, where he also
took the scalp of Eddie Osei-Nketia
• Not yet 21, his competition with Eddie
will drive both to fast times, and their
combination in the 4x100m relay is also
an exciting prospect

High Jump PB 2.30m // Canterbury
• Has literally come on in leaps and
bounds in the last three years. Went to
the World University Games in Taiwan in
2017 and missed out on qualifying for the
fi nal by the narrowest of margins
• This motivated him to fully commit to
the sport, and a shift to Christchurch to
come under the guidance of Terry Lomax
combined to see him regularly jumping
in the mid to high 2.20s
• At the Oceania Championships in
Townsville 2019, he equalled the NZ
record with a 2.30m clearance, which
also earned him selection to the world
championships that year
Shot Put PB 14.24m / Discus PB 45.60m
// Canterbury
• Exciting 17-year-old talent. Originally a
sprinter hurdler but has transitioned to
shot put and discus in last two seasons
breaking several Canterbury records
• Appeared at The BIG Shot Future Stars
event in 2016, 2017, and 2018, winning in
2017
• Now competing in The BIG Shot, itself
against one of her idols Dame Valerie
Adams
• A very good netballer, and recently
named Head Girl at St Andrews College
for 2021
Hammer PB 73.47m // Canterbury
• Originally from Timaru, coached by Ian
Baird and now training in Christchurch
under Dale Stevenson - the same path
trodden by world champion shot putter
Tom Walsh before her
• Set NZ National, Resident, and Allcomers
records late last year with a superb best
of 73.47m, which was also an automatic

second in NZ in 2020 in that event
Discus PB 64.39m // Auckland
• Yet to turn 20, has already set his fi rst NZ
senior record with a 64.39m throw for the
NZ Resident Record two weeks ago in
Hastings
• Has set over 20 NZ Records through the
junior ranks as well as winning the Youth
Commonwealth and Youth Olympics
titles
• One of New Zealand’s brightest ever
discus prospects and is making a
seamless transition to senior ranks

On February 22, 2011, the city of Christchurch was hit by an earthquake that punched up like a giant fist through the surface of the earth, directly under the city’s central business district. Many buildings and homes were destroyed or seriously damaged, and nearly 200 people were killed, including a leading running coach and administrator, Brian Taylor. Among the many wrecked facilities was Queen Elizabeth II Stadium, whose fabled track had been scene of the 1974 Commonwealth Games, 1975 New Zealand Games, 1981 World Masters Championships, 2011 Paralympic World Athletics Championships, and other major athletics events. With no track, a severely damaged city infrastructure, and the community in shock, the International Track Meet, scheduled four days later, was cancelled. A successful meet was held in Wellington, raising $20,000 for Christchurch relief. Nick Willis’s 2008 Olympic silver medal was formally presented to him there, instead of at the Christchurch meet as planned.
Nothing will obviate the losses of that disaster, but Christchurch and New Zealand have begun to heal, and sport is making its usual major contribution to that process. In that spirit of healing, we have done some imagining. Part of the frustration of the quake was that the ITM was shaping up so well. What if the quake had not happened and the Track Meet had? What new marks would Christchurch have celebrated making in athletics history that February night in 2011?
Silver lining for Willis What a curtain raiser! The 10,000 plus strong crowd poured into QEII to make sure they didn’t miss the first-ever presentation of an Olympic medal on New Zealand soil. They were bubbling with high spirits and had lumps in their throats as Nick Willis received his 2008 Olympic 1500m silver, upgraded (after a disqualification) from the bronze he received in Beijing. With the legendary Sir John Walker making the presentation, it was double jubilation.
The Greatest Track Meet that Never HappenedChristchurch International Track Meet, February 26, 2011
Close contests in perfect conditions The crowd was back on their feet a few moments later, as three 400m hurdlers charged off the last bend in lockstep and battled down the straight. Daylight opened between them only at the final hurdle, as Michael Cochrane surged to win in a meet and New Zealand M20 record 50.62, just ahead of James Mortimer (51.16) and David O’Shea (51.68).
Women beat men The open high jump ended in a mixed-gender tie, between Liz Lamb (1.81) and Billy Crayford (2.12), level on points. Sarah Cowley was in action again with a third place.
A woman’s victory that was less of a surprise came from New Zealand’s all-conquering superstar Valerie Adams. The world, Olympic and Commonwealth champion received a standing ovation from the crowd, and then dominated the all-comers shot put, climaxing in the final round with the biggest put ever seen in New Zealand, 20.53, an all-comers record, to Dale Stevenson’s 20.28 and Tom Walsh’s 18.17.
Hairsbreadth finishes Up jumped the crowd again for the hairsbreadth finish of the men’s 400m, with Alex Jordan 46.61 and Andy Moore on 46.96 while Australia’s Alexander Carew took third (47.23, PB). Another rousingly close track finish saw Daniel Balchin edge Julian Oakley in the under-23 1500m (3:51.70/3:51.75).
Truly international The meet got truly international half-way through the evening, with the sprints and 800s. In the women’s 200m Andrea Koenen had to beat England’s Mel Purkiss (24.05/24.41), and Scotland’s powerful Nick Smith won the men’s 100m in 10.42 against a personal best 10.43 by Carl Van der Speck. Australia was again in arrears, with Dan Martin third. Paul Zongo broke his own New Caledonia national record finishing fifth in 10.68. In world terms, things got better and better. Jemma Simpson, the 2009 British champion, won the women’s 800m in a swift
meet record 2:02.88, beating previous record-holder Angie Smit (2:03.56). The men’s 800m had runners from Australia, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Samoa and USA, and it was the classy Americans who prevailed. Alan Webb, the US mile record holder and one of the great American names of the last decade, won in 1:46.62, from Tyler Mulder, 1:46.81 and James Gurr 1:46.94. It was a wonderful race that looked cutting-edge world-class (provided you didn’t remember that Peter Snell running on grass in 1962 would have been clear by two seconds).
Kiwis triumph Commonwealth Games medallists Nikki Hamblin and Nick Willis stirred patriotic spirits with superb victories. Hamblin in the women’s mile did most of the leading, surging impeccably away on the last 300m for a New Zealand Resident record 4:30.75, followed home by Australian Lisa Corrigan in 4:31.18. Willis left it later in the men’s 1500m. Matt Harris set the pace perfectly, and when he pulled off at 600m to go the pack looked vibrant and very classy – Michigan-based Brit Lee Emmanuel took up the front running, followed closely by Will Leer (USA), Brandon Bethke (USA), James Nipperess (Australia), American 800 star Nick Symmonds, and Willis in his usual sheep-dog position at the tail of the line. Just behind were kiwis Hamish Carson and Hayden McLaren.
Predictably and (for the crowd) delectably, it was Willis who swept round the pack as they came off the last bend, sending the stadium delirious with a pulsating finish that made us all think of Snell and Walker. He took the race and the meet record with 3:36.87, a nice performance at the beginning of a world championships year. Leer, popular with the crowd for his long 1960s hair and even longer moustache, was second in 3:37.07, and Symmonds, who had seemed to lose contact along the back straight, found his 800 speed and charged barrel-chested through to third (3:38.59). Emmanuel took fourth in a season’s best 3:38.78, an especially pleasing result to imagine for those of us who saw him fall
badly in the real-life race that most of this field actually ran in Wellington on Feb 26th. Everyone else in our fantasy field ran personal bests, our way of showing our hopes for the future of Hayden McLaren (3:39.55) and Hamish Carson (3:39.97).
Rupping it Up A memorable night ended with an assault on the American 10,000m record by Galen Rupp. If he did it (26:59.60) he would also be way under Dick Tayler’s legendary New Zealand resident and QEII stadium record of 27:46.4 from the 1974 Commonwealth Games. Titus M’bishei of Kenya had been brought in by coach Alberto Salazar as pace-maker, and did an excellent job to well beyond halfway. But in the eighth kilometre the pace was drifting outside the target schedule and Rupp took over. Huge crowd support and a fervent atmosphere under the glowing floodlights lifted him, but six laps solo were just too demanding, and the final time was 27:28.57, well inside Tayler’s mark. M’bishei held on to 29:32.19, and third was New Zealand champion Stephen Lett who had a lonely but impressive race for 29:36.68.
Note: In September, Rupp broke Chris Solinsky’s US 10,000m record with 26:48.00, making him the fastest non-African in history. The planned attempt to run that speed at Christchurch in February was not a fantasy, although our race narrative is.
Imagine One final celebratory moment came when the final presentation of the evening, to Rupp for the 10,000m, was made by the prominent Canterbury runner, coach and administrator Brian Taylor.
