Anne Goulter
Anne, who competes in the age 50–54 category, is something of a Masters veteran having competed in various athletics events at the NZ Masters for around 20 years.

family commitments
When she was at school herself, Anne Goulter liked athletics but gave up competing after leaving college, while continuing to play netball. Her eventual return to the track came at the age of 30, after a netball coach organised sprint training, re-igniting her interest in athletics.
At 16 years old, Anne’s son __________________ has become a competitive hammer thrower and trains alongside his mum. Last year he placed fifth in the NZ Secondary Schools seniors – he was previously a junior title holder.
“I’ve never forced him into it, but he throws well,” she says.
