🏆 KINGSTON MENZIES CROWNED GIFT25’ CHAMPION! 🏆

A proud family legacy continues! On Saturday, Kingston Menzies delivered a powerhouse performance to claim the prestigious Athletics Norfolk Island GIFT25’ title, etching his name into local sporting history and adding another chapter to the Menzies sprinting legacy.

Under flawless blue skies at Malcolm Champion Oval, the annual GIFT brought together athletes, families, and supporters for a huge day of racing, with more than $2100 in prizes generously contributed by local sponsors. The atmosphere was electric — and the racing even better.
