2k26 Oceania Athletics Championships!🥈

I held myself to a very high standard this year.
Was meant to be a huge “comeback season”.

While I may not have achieved everything I set out to, I’m still incredibly proud of my performance’s and what I was able to accomplish.

I recorded my equal second-furthest jump ever (7.94m), competed in every competition @barberathletic set for me (10), selected for my first Oceania champs, and most importantly, I’m heading into the off-season/ pre-season healthy.

This season gave me a strong new foundation to build from, and I’m already excited for what’s to come 👀🔥

Entering year 7 of jumping in 2027, sounds like a good time to drop a fkn 💣

Season done and dusted.

Super proud of what I’ve been able to accomplish over the past 5 months with the difficulties I’ve had to endure. But nothing I’m more proud and grateful for is the team I have that keep me going.

With many set backs and brick walls we’ve had to tear down not one of us have doubted what we can achieve. @physio.nat @nureegreenhalgh family and friends have pushed me to keep going and believe in what I can become. Without these people around me things would be a lot different.

If I didn’t believe before I’ll definitely believe it now in that anything is possible. If you told me after my 3rd hamstring injury that a month later I’d be representing New Zealand and an Oceania champion. I would’ve laughed. Never think you can’t achieve something, you can be what ever you work for!

2026:
