Suva Grammar School sprinter Paula Vonolagi and Samantha Lutu have claimed their second gold medals at the Oceania Athletics Championships underway in Darwin, Australia.

Vonolagi sprinted to glory in the U20 men's 200 metres final with a time of 21.73 seconds, while Lutu jumped a distance of 11.47 metres in the U20 women's triple jump.

Vonolagi was challenged in his race, with silver medallist Titali Kolomalu of Tonga stopping the clock at 21.79 seconds.

Vonolagi had the second-fastest time from the heats, but the 19-year-old delivered when it mattered most to claim gold for Fiji.

Meanwhile, Veremo Vasuitoga finished seventh in the 200 metres final with a time of 22.96 seconds.
