Papanui TocH has a proud competition history, stretching back nearly 70 years. In that time many Club athletes have featured prominently at Canterbury and national level, and represented New Zealand internationally.
At the Athletics Canterbury championships in February 2022 Papanui Toc H athletes won a total of 20 titles and scored numerous placings. The Club’s para athletes also acquitted themselves magnificently, scoring six titles. Zack Lappin then went on to win the Open Para javelin at the national track and field championships in March.
The nationals also featured a 1-2 for Ethan Bone and Levi Murdoch in the U18 Men’s high jump, while in July Ethan went on to represent New Zealand and win the same category at the Oceania championships in Mackay, Queensland.
