In his final match, he captained the Auckland province to a 13–0 defeat of the touring British and Irish Lions. Wood's 1903 long jump of 21 ft 8+1⁄2 in (6.62 m) would have been the New Zealand record, but was eventually assessed as being wind-assisted and so was not ratified. He went on to win the long jump at the 1904 New Zealand athletics championships, his leap of 19 ft 7+1⁄2 in (5.98 m) taking the title from Te Rangi Hīroa. (en) |
