Natabua High, Jasper Top Lautoka Zone

Natabua High School senior boys sprinter, Josevata Rasoi, was named the Best Male athlete at Lautoka’s Churchill Park yesterday.

He won three gold medals during the competition. Rasoi took out the senior boys 100m final and later he won gold in the long jump followed by the 4x100m relay.

“I was always part of the field events, this is my first time to take part in the track events and I’m happy that I did well by winning the blue ribbon event,” Rasoi said.

“This win is dedicated to my late schoolmate, Lasaro Waqabuli who passed away not too long ago.”

The 18-year-old will now shift his focus to the 2021 Coca Cola Games in Suva where he aims to do better.

The Best Female athlete award went to Jasper Williams High School’s Laisani Hacere and Kinisimere Bete.
