Long jump specialist and 2008 Best Secondary School Athlete in the Fiji Sports Council Awards, Banuve Tabakaucoro will be out to stamp his mark again after missing out on the gold medal last year.

The Marist Brothers High School student lost out in his favourite long jump event last year and was edged by Suva Grammar's Mataiasi Savou in the 100 metre inter-grade final.

With just days away from the Suva Zone 2 competition, Tabakaucoro has stepped up his preparation to help the Red Fire Camp defend their title.
