Natabua High School sprinter Mesulame Tuigau will be one of the favourites to win this year’s Blue Ribbon event in the Coca-Cola Games.
Tuigau clocked the fastest manual time of 10.33 seconds in the Lautoka Zone meet earlier this year.
He will face stiff competition from Ratu Kadavulevu School’s Viliame Rawairua who clocked a time of 10.53 seconds, Tomasi Seru of Queen Victoria School who ran a time of 10.63 seconds, Waisale Inoke of MGM who clocked 10.62 seconds, Elijah Tokikivunuku of Suva Grammar School with the time of 10.66 seconds and Emosi Daubitu of Naitasiri Secondary School who clocked 11.04 seconds from the Triple N Zone.
All these are manual times.
The Coke Games senior boys record still stands at 10.43 seconds which was set by Banuve Tabakaucoro in 2011.
The Coca Cola Games will be held from next Thursday to Saturday at the HFC Bank Stadium.
The grandstand tickets are expected to be available from tomorrow with $45 for the three days while the Embankment and Grass tickets of $12 and $10 will be sold on the day of the games.
ACS and RKS are the defending champions.
