PNG Air National Track and Field Championships

Athletics Champs Set To Start

The event will be live streamed this weekend, thanks to support from Oceania Athletic Association.

As expected, participating numbers will be less than normal due to the financial situation affecting most provinces and the interruptions to programmes this year due to COVID-19.

NCD will be represented by 16-member Team Nest and one independent athlete, Salome Yaling. 

Small teams of less than ten are also confirmed from Lae, East New Britain, New Ireland and NSI (Goroka), with Simbu and East Sepik working against time.

Associations preparing for national track, field champs

The three-day meet is scheduled to run from Friday November 15th to the 18th at the Sasi Muthuvel Stadium.

It will be the second time this year for Athletics PNG (APNG) to bring a major event to Kimbe and the Provincial Administration is again lending its support by way of the provision of resource personnel to assist in preparations.

APNG president, Tony Green, says the local organising committee has been hard at work with Nolene Pidik, coordinating administrative preparations.
