Hot Weather For Athletic Champs
A really hot day did not prevent good times and performances being recorded at the H.B.-P.B. Centre N.Z.A.A.A. provincial championships, which were held at the Childers Road Reserve. A full programme of colts', junior women's, pentathlon and marathon events were conducted throughout the day.
