DUDLEY High School’s fastest legs Josefa Rabili is running closer to his golden dream.

That is to win a gold medal at the 2019 Coca-Cola Games.

He clocked 11.83 seconds in the senior boys 100 metres final and 23.10sec in the 200m final during the school’s inter-house competition at the ANZ Stadium in Suva.

“This is my first year at Dudley High School,” Raibili said. He also received the Best Male Athlete award.

“Last year I attended Sila High School and I changed school this year to improve my time in the 100 and 200 metres.”

His win helped pile more points for his Hunt House which finished third in the overall medal tally with 19 gold, 18 silver and 20 bronze medals.

“I was disqualified in the Coca-ColaGames last year because I broke start. I missed that chance of a gold medal win. This year I want to prepare well. That is why I came to Dudley.

“I have been doing some hill running in the village and I know this year I will better my time compared to last year in the Fiji Finals which was 23.50secs.”

School vice-principal Uraia Toribau said their athletics team for the Suva zonal competition and the Coca-Cola Games would have a balance of field and track representation. |
