Wilco sponsored Anita McLaren (nee Punt) during her 2016 Black Sticks Olympics campaign. Anita played her first match for New Zealand in June 2009 against India and has competed for the Black Sticks since 2009, including the 2010 Commonwealth Games and the 2012 Summer Olympics. She has a reputation for her speed, being touted as one of the fastest female hockey players in the world.
Unfortunately, the Black Sticks missed out on a maiden Olympic medal, beaten 2-1 by Germany in the play-off for bronze. Well done to the girls . . . maybe next time?
