Around 180 athletes will represent Suva Grammar School at the Coca-Cola Suva Zone 2 competition today.
Athletics Coach Jone Delai says that while some of the athletes began their preparations back in December, they’ve had only one week to get ready for the zone competition.
He expressed concern over the limited preparation time, with just five days to prepare, but assured fans and supporters of Grammar that the athletes will always bring their best.
Delai is also calling on old scholars and supporters to come out in full force to cheer on the athletes.
