Sisters for Jasper

SISTERS Sereima Liku and Mereseini Naidau will exchange their traditional green vests for a purple outfit at next week's Fiji Secondary School Coca-Cola Games finals in Suva.

The sisters who have dominated the long distance events for the past two years while representing Nadarivatu High School will now run for Lautoka-based Jasper Williams High School.

Younger sibling Naidau will compete in the 1500 and 300 metres at the Coke games.

Naidau set a new zone record for Jasper during the Lautoka zone last week.

Liku will compete in the 400m and 800m events.

The inclusion of the sisters will surely ensure that JWHS win some medals when they return home next Saturday.

Former Pacific Games gold medalist Akesa Drotini will feature for Wainibuka Secondary School in the 1500m.

Drotini was placed second during the Tailevu zone meet.

However, the former Adi Cakobau School long distance champion should not be ruled out of the competition.

Drotini will face an uphill battle from the two sisters who will want to continue their winning momentum for another season.
