Black Sticks hockey player Anita Punt has continued her dream run in her first taste of sprinting this season, winning the 100 and 200 metres at the Porritt Classic in Hamilton.
Coming on top of some solid hockey training in the morning she headed in Molly Florence in both events clocking impressive, even though they were wind assisted, times of 11.72s and 23.95s.
"It's a good new experience, I'm enjoying it so far and it was great to get the wins today, with better times, I wanted to get under 12 (for the 100m) so I was happy with that," said Punt.
"I have battled with the starts up to now, I got a better start today so I could pull out a better time," she added.
