Dedication pays off for AIMS Individual athletes

Four devoted individual athletes travelled to Tauranga this year to represent Heaton in the 2022 Zespri AIMS Games Championships. We are so proud of the dedication you all demonstrated to train and prepare for this fantastic opportunity. It takes many hours of hard work, focus, sacrifice and discipline for individual athletes, and we are so happy that you were all rewarded for your incredible efforts. A big thank you must also go to our athletes' families for all of their support in providing this opportunity for your children.
