A huge congratulations to Denika Clooney of Otamatea High School on an outstanding performance at the 2026 Australian Athletics Cross Country Championships in Ballarat! 🇦🇺

Denika battled through tough, muddy conditions to finish 🥉 3rd in the U20 Girls race, securing a bronze medal against some of Australia and New Zealand’s best young distance runners.

And the success didn’t stop there…

Denika was also part of the NZSSAA U20 Mixed Relay team that claimed 🥇 GOLD, alongside Corban Holmes, Sali Leinfellner and Desmond Reddy.

What an incredible achievement and a fantastic season for one of Northland’s rising distance stars! 👏

Congratulations Denika — Northland is proud of you! 💙

We would love to see kids’ athletics return to Russell, giving local tamariki the opportunity to run, jump, throw, build confidence and have fun right in their own community.

The exciting part? We have the equipment, resources and support ready to go!

The one thing we’re missing is people.
We’re looking for volunteer coaches who can give just ONE HOUR a week to help us deliver the programme.

No coaching experience needed
Just one hour per week
Full training and guidance provided
All athletics equipment supplied

You don’t need to be an athletics expert, we just need people who want to make a difference for local kids.
