Kayo Findson

In 2019 Kayo won gold in the Auckland Schools Central Zone 1500m and during 2019 and 2020 won the teenage 5km division of the Auckland Marathon races. Over 2020 and 2021 she has focused on competitive tennis but still managed to finish 4th in the Auckland Cross Country Championships. While 2021 and 2022 has been interrupted by Covid lockdowns, Kayo has still managed to run 4m54 for 1500m and 2m22 for 800m. It was therefore no surprise to the team when Kayo was continually up with the leaders during the cross-country season. The 2022 - 2023 athletics season started with Kayo in fine form and making her way through fast heats to make the final of the Senior Girls 1500m at the NZ Secondary Schools 1500m. She is also a 2024 Tough Gal medalist leading in a large field through mud, swamp, a spider’s web net climb, a crawl under barb wire, tunnels and hurdles. After some time off she returned with a top 6 finish in the competitive 2024 Auckland senior schools road race.
