The anticipation surrounding the Tuckers Ice-Cream Fiji Primary Schools Athletics Championship is reaching new heights, as the event draws near. Patrick Bower, president of Fiji Primary Schools Athletics, remarks that the enthusiasm for this year’s competition is unprecedented, with 21 districts confirmed to participate, marking a record turnout.
Students and parents are buzzing with excitement as they look forward to the opportunity to display their athletic abilities. Bower expressed his exhilaration about the engaged and eager students, remarking, “The hype we are having right now is really amazing; students just can’t wait for the games to begin.” He noted that even students from schools in Vanualevu have shown interest in hosting the event, despite challenges such as the lack of proper facilities.
The rising participation is attributed to extensive outreach efforts aimed at providing support to various districts. Bower emphasized the importance of training officials to ensure a smooth event, stating, “We are strict on the rules, and all leaders are cooperating well. By Tuesday, everything will be set and ready to go.”
The event has garnered vital support from sponsors like Tuckers, which has been invaluable in securing the necessary resources to ensure the competition’s success.

The two-day athletics championship is scheduled to take place at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva next Thursday and Friday, promising a thrilling showcase of talent and sportsmanship.
This event not only demonstrates the incredible spirit of competition but also highlights the community’s commitment to fostering young athletes. It stands as a testament to the potential of future champions, inspiring hope and enthusiasm among the youth in Fiji.
