In a display of remarkable athleticism, Ratubaka finished ahead of competitors, with Melita Marama from Wainimala Secondary School earning a silver medal and Luisa Neneyawa from Thomas Baker taking home the bronze.
In the boys’ division, Serevi Tova of Nakasi High School claimed the gold medal, followed by Namokoli Savenaca from Natabua High School with silver and Waisega Volavola from Levuka Public School securing bronze.
Previously, MGM showed impressive performances at the Suva Zone 1 athletics competition.
