Basketball Otago has revealed the true extent of its financial problems, at its annual general meeting.

Otago's top primary school athletes have been squaring off in Dunedin.

Hundreds of students from across the region met at the Caledonian Ground for the Otago Athletics Championships.

And it seems some kids have even made it into the record books.

The Highlanders squad has been selected to contest the 2015 Investec Super Rugby title.

The 38 strong squad is made up of 32 full contract players, and six from the wider training group.

22 players are returning from this year's 2014 season.

They include All Blacks Malakai Fekitoa, Aaron Smith and Ben Smith.

The Highlanders begin their season with a home match against the Crusaders on the 21st of February, after a bye in round one.

The wider training group includes five Otago players, and coach Jamie Joseph says he is happy with the squad's balance and depth.

Dunedin rugby player Tony Ensor has been selected for the All Blacks Sevens side to play in Australia this weekend.

The 23 year old fullback is the only Otago player selected for this weekend's squad.

And Highlander Fumiaki Tanaka has just announced he's returning to Dunedin from Japan.

He'll play his third consecutive super rugby season for the franchise next year.
