TWENTY-Nine (29) records were broken in this year’s Fiji Secondary Schools Athletics Finals and with it two new champions were crowned Adi Cakobau School (ACS) (Girls champion) Natabua High School (Boys champion).
Despite the multiple false starts in the first two days, the third day was technical error free.
The games reached fever pitched leaving fans at their edge of their seats during the Senior Boys 4x400m final, a race which was going to decide who would be the new champion. Defending 2016 champs Marist Brothers High School (MBHS) and Ratu Kadavulevu School were the other two top contenders for the boy’s title.
RKS which last won the boys title in 1997 were eager to close the 20 year drought but in the end, a strategic placement of the Natabua 100m champion Shane Tuvusa dashed the Delainakaikai boys hopes.
ACS however, under the leadership of former Jasper Williams High School coach Antonio Raboiliku showed form not seen in the Sawani school for years and led convincingly through each day of the competition.
