On the 7th to 9th April Liam Turner was a member of the New Zealand Athletics team to compete in the Oceania Games held in Tahiti, along with 19 other athletes involving 7 other countries. 

Liam had a very strong meet capturing the Gold double, in the 400m and 800m. His time of 1.58.21 for the 800 was a personal best, while his time in the 400m of 51.32 was just outside his personal best. 

The temperature during these races was in excess of 32 degrees with very humid conditions so were very impressive results under difficult conditions.

He also helped the senior 4 by 100m secure Bronze and got the under 18, 4 by 100m team off to a flyer to secure Gold. This was an impressive relay run as all members are mid distance specialists and have secured the team to qualify for the World Championships later in the year for the sprint team.

Liam along with Pete and Paula would like to thank everyone who have supported Liam during the meet and during the past season.
