A COMPLETE TEAM !
With the late arrival of the missing four from Fiji, by early Wednesday morning we had a complete team actually together in Apia ! By thinking ahead we were also able to provide them with beds, unlike some others who ended up sleeping on the floor ! They were happy to be here and did not seem to have suffered from there prolonged stay in Fiji !
RESULTS SUMMARY.
Overall, and including the results from the Grand Prix, the twelve athletes achieved one silver medal (Rabangaki in the Open MOctathlon) and two bronze medals (Banrenga in the u-18 W3000m. and Buraieta in the Open MTriple Jump). There were six National Records: Rabangaki in the Javelin, 100m. and Octathlon total points; Beteru in the M400m. Hurdles (twice !); the u-18 Mixed Medley Relay team (Banrenga, Tanroo, Lilly, Tim); and the M4 x 100m. Relay team (Mariuti, Tanroo, Tim, Rabangaki). In addition there were 9 PBs and a number of season's best performances. There was also a Youth National Record for Bonea in the Javelin.
GOING HOME !
Following a spectacular Closing Function, with incredible displays from the Samoan dancers, we are now recovering. Some went to church today - a good way to get back to reality and pray for a safe journey home, and prepare for Christmas !

A complete list of Kiribati results will be on the web-site in due course.
