Auckland student takes scholarships
Krystie Soloman is turning heads in the track and field world.
The 17-year-old won national club championships in the under 18s two years in a row and placed third in the under 20s group this year.
Now the Sacred Heart Girls' College student is being flooded with track and field scholarship offers.
She has been approached from public and private universities in the United States with grants as high as $300,000.
Solomoan said she is looking forward to improving her personal best times and "becoming the best athlete and runner I can be.”
She said she was so grateful to be given the chance to compete overseas and push her body to the limit.
"I don't know where that will take me, whether that be the Commonwealth or Olympic stage, but I know that I want to get as close as I can to those world’s fastest athletes and have the potential to be so much faster than I am today. "

🐾 Adopt Shasha🐾
Hello neighbours
Meet Shasha, our beloved 11-year-old family dog! Currently living with my in-laws, Shasha is a perfectly healthy and good-spirited pup who brings joy to everyone she meets.
Shasha loves short walks and playing outdoors, but she also enjoys her downtime, often resting peacefully while keeping you company. She thrives on companionship and doesn’t like being alone, making her an ideal addition to a family that can offer her the love and attention she craves.
Due to my in-laws’ upcoming travels, they’ve made the difficult decision to find Shasha a new home where she will feel secure and cherished.
All of her vaccine records will be provided, ensuring you have everything you need to take care of her.
We’re not asking for any money—just a caring family that will give Shasha the affectionate home she deserves.
If you’re ready to welcome this sweet girl into your life and provide her with the love she needs, please reach out. Let’s make Shasha a part of your family! 🐶❤️
