The team members, dressed in their athletic attire and holding their equipment, are (left to right): John Hempton, Frederick White, Henry Reeves, Daniel Wood, Peter Morrison, Robert Lusk, Edward McKelvey, and Laurence Cuff. The Australasian Championship Meeting was a significant event in the history of athletics in the Southern Hemisphere, bringing together athletes from Australia, New Zealand, and other parts of the British Empire. The New Zealand team's participation was an important moment in the development of athletics in New Zealand, showcasing the country's athletic prowess on the international stage. The team members' determination and focus are evident in their expressions and body language.
