Hamish Kerr

EVENT: Athletics: Men's High Jump

Tokyo 2020 will be Hamish's first Olympic Games.

Previously shared the national high jump record with Glenn Howard, now outright holder after jumping 2.31m at the Capital Classic in February.

Moved to Christchurch from Auckland to come under the guidance of coach Terry Lomax and is now regularly jumping in the high 2.20s.

Attended the 2019 World Championships and 2017 World University Games, missing out on qualifying for the final at the latter by the narrowest of margins.

Also a decent runner, he regularly competes in sprint events and relays at domestic competitions.

Now competes for Christchurch Old Boys United in his adopted province of Canterbury.
