Zoe Hobbs has gone faster than any Kiwi woman in history - again - but it won't count as another national record

Hobbs ran a wind-assisted 10.89 seconds in the 100 metres final, at the New Zealand athletics championships in Wellington.

While the mark won't stand as a record, due to a 3.4 metres-per-second wind at her back, the 26-year-old is staggered to crack the 11 second mark - on her return to competition.



Hobbs did break her own official mark in the morning heats, clocking 11.07 seconds - an Oceania, New Zealand, New Zealand resident and all-comers record.

She's also met the qualifying mark for August's world championships in Budapest.
