Highlights

Nick Willis holds many track and field records both in New Zealand and internationally.

Willis competed in the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne and was a semi-finalist in the 1500m at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens and at the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki.

In last year's World Championships in Osaka, Willis made it to the final going on to finish 10th in the 1500m – his first time in a final at a major international competition.

He holds the New Zealand national 1500m record of 3m 32.17s and claimed an 'A' qualifying time at a meeting in Rome in early July, running 3min 32.68s
