The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michelle Simmonds won the 55–59 age group at Auckland 2026 in 1:27:05, first of 17.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:59 quicker than the median and 55th of 462. Stronger after halfway: 2:38 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:35, was faster than 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Auckland 2026 and Auckland 2025 were 1:46 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
