The New Zealand track and field circuit kicks off today at the Potts Classic in Hastings. 

Among the competitors is heptathlete Briana Stephenson, who starts off a potentially career-defining year today as she lines up for the 60m hurdles. 

It follows on from her hitting the Commonwealth Games A standard last weekend in Brisbane. 

She told Piney that while Athletics NZ and the NZ Olympic Committee still need to select the teams, she’s in a very good spot at the moment and is pretty confident she’ll be on that plane to Glasgow.
