The Aucklanders have spent the week sightseeing and interacting with athletes from NSW.

While some athletes felt the conditions, the under-11 and 12 representative athletes all enjoyed the competition.

Little Athletics NSW competition and volunteer co-ordinator Diane Levy said it was the first time athletes in those age groups had competed against international competition.

“Everything ran smoothly and all the athletes enjoyed themselves,” she said.
