Muddy training ground has been Namosi Secondary School strength ahead of Coca-Cola Games

Muddy training ground has been Namosi Secondary School strength ahead of Coca-Cola Games

Give your best and it will come to you.

This is the message that has been driving 19 students of Namosi Secondary School for more than a month in their preparation for the Coca-Cola Games which starts next Tuesday.

The constant rainy weather in Namosi means the team trains daily on a muddy ground - some of them without training shoes.

Team coach Atunaisa Waqaicelua says they love their muddy ground and believe with positive team spirit, anyone can achieve greatness with the small things they have.

One Namosi Secondary School athlete to look out for in the Coca-Cola Games is Intermediate Boys 800 metres runner, Pio Rauwa.

Rauwa won gold in the Junior Boys 800 metres last year.

Last year, Namosi Secondary School got 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze in the Coca-Cola Games.

The Coca-Cola Games will be held from next Tuesday to Thursday at the ANZ Stadium.
