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. "

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
