Masters haul in the medals

Cook Islands athletes at the Oceania Masters Athletics meet are hauling in medals like they’re going out of fashion with reports of the teams current medal haul at 48 – and still more to come!

On Wednesday, CISNOC sports development officer Siniva Marsters, who is with the team in Tahiti, reported that the team had won 37 medals at the end of the day – four gold, 18 silver and 15 bronze medals with a few more days of competition still on the cards for the team. So don’t be surprised if they come home with over 50 medals!
