The 2024 North Island Colgate Games took place in Auckland at Mt Smart Stadium on January 5-7. Both Paeroa and Thames were well represented at the event, with several athletes aged between 7 and 14 years attending from both clubs.
“It was a fantastic three days and all the athletes enjoyed themselves, setting many personal bests and soaking up the vibrant atmosphere of the stadium,” Sarah Rawnsley of the Paeroa Amateur Athletics Club said.
