Tom Walsh
South Canterbury’s latest export is a through and through sportsman. Right from a young age Tom Walsh found his passion lay in the playing field rather than the classroom, playing cricket, croquette and athletics in the summer and was an accomplished rugby player in the winter.
A product of Timaru Boys High-school Tom is now the current World, World Indoor and Commonwealth Shotput Champion and Olympic Bronze medalist.
Tom was also named New Zealand’s Sportsman of the year in 2017 at the Halberg awards.
