Athletics/Cross Country

Building on early foundations, Rangitoto College helps track, field, and cross-country athletes refine their talent. Our school has proudly developed a legacy of national and international representatives, providing supportive coaching and resources alongside AUT Millennium.

Registrations

Term 1 (School/Regionals) and Term 4 (Nationals)

Training

Students are expected to train for events individually. A school run club is available on a Wednesday afterschool.

Event Dates

Majority of the athletics events take place in Term 1, with Nationals being held at the end of Term 4. Cross Country events take place in Term 2.

Event Venues and Transport

Venues vary depending on the event. Transport is provided for some events.

Athletes are selected to represent Rangitoto College in athletics and cross-country at the Auckland championships based on school event results, as well as personal records.

The school Athletics Day is held early in Term 1, and the school Cross-Country is held in late Term 1 or early Term 2. We will advise at the start of the year whether the school cross-country is mandatory for Year 9 and 10 students. It remains optional for senior students.

Students interested in competing at Auckland Zones and national-level events should participate in our school events. While some coaching is available through the school, most technical coaching takes place at local clubs.
