General Information

All LHAAC athletes are encouraged to participate in Club & Interclub events. All athletes improve with regular competition and results at these events also contribute to each individual athlete's LHAAC points.

How Interclub Works

Children need to report in to their scheduled events, prior to competing, wearing their club uniform and age tag. You will need to check the program (which can be found on the Athletics Wellington website) to ensure your child goes to the correct event. Children only need to complete in the events they want to compete in. They do not need to compete in all of them. The events are:

Track Events

For track events the officials will put the children into groups and place them on the track. Each child will race once per event, where they will be timed and placed as per their time in their age group.

Field Events

For field events each child will get one practice round and then have 3 measured attempts where they are placed accordingly.
