Para Athlete Mac Denniston

Here is what Mac gets up to during the athletics off season 🥰

So cool to be a finalist and attend this event 💪

Mac did it … SILVER 🥈!! in Senior Seated Discuss representing New Zealand Secondary Schools Athletics Association in the blavk singlet. He threw 19m and the winner threw 24m .

Thanks for having us Australian Athletics , thanks to everyone who has supported Mac far and wide, and the new friends we’ve made along the way.

Senior Discuss today at 4pm NZ time (12pm here) - todays the day!!! Mac is starting to feel better now 🤞🤞

Javelin today 😊, hot again 29 degrees.

Not Macs day, 4th today. He’s sick (got a cold) and doesn’t have much energy 😔.
Tomorrow’s another event , U20 javelin and another day .

Thanks to the crew that came to watch him today, Denise’s parents, Shane, Mandy and Brett Wilson, plus other athlete mates 🥰
