    Jacko Gill has snapped the 13-year winning streak of Tom Walsh in the shot put event at the track and field national championships in Wellington


    Gill dominated the meet with a best throw of 21.80m in the fourth round, although five of his throws were better than Walsh's 21.25 top effort.

    Eliza McCartney's won the pole vault title for the first time in six years with a clearance of 4.61m - her best in four years.

    She won on countback from Olivia McTaggart who made the same clearance but needed more attempts to do so.

    Hamish Kerr's taken the men's high jump title with a winning jump of 2.20m.
