Next Stop Commonwealth Games

NZ won the New South Wales 100m Relay Championship at Sydney Olympic Park on November 19, breaking a NZ national record in the process. Led by Olympic representative Chris Donaldson, the winning team also included Dallas Roberts, David Falealilli and James Dolphin. The team’s time of 38.99 broke both the previous NZ record of 39.25 (set by the same four runners two years ago) and the NSW record of 39.89. “We didn’t change too well in the heat but got it together in the final,” says Donaldson. “That was good enough for a Commonwealth Games final and we now hope to show a clean pair of heels to other runners in Melbourne.”
