Those athletes not selected in the Centre team compete for their club and do so in their club uniform.
Selection Criteria
- Athletes must achieve the entry standards from 1 January 2022 to 1 March 2022 inclusive.
- Wind-assisted and hand-timed performances will not be considered.
- Athletes must compete regularly at Athletics Waikato-Bay of Plenty (AWBoP) meets during the season, unless prior approval has been received.
- Selectors are able to include athletes who have not reached the standard at their discretion.
- Selected athletes must make themselves available for AWBoP relay teams.
- Athletes not selected in the AWBoP team can still enter the NZ Champs as individuals. These athletes will simply be representing their Club.
Athlete Subsidies
For the 2021-2022 season, we are now offering athlete subsides to the New Zealand Track and Field Championships of $50 each. These will be paid to athletes selected for the Waikato-Bay of Plenty team for the event in Hastings between 4th and 6th March 2022. The subsidy will only be paid to athletes who have also entered the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Championships on 12th and 13th February 2022 or those who give prior notice that they are unavailable to compete in the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Championships.
