Brisbane based Makelesi Bulikiobo broke two National records in Australia, a sign showing how seriously she is taking this year's Pacific Games in Samoa.

Bulikiobo broke a new National record in the 100 metres at the University of Queensland championship, with an excellent time of 11.66 seconds although she finished second in her race.

The old record stood at 11.67, which she set during the 2003 SPG in Suva.

Bulikiobo also set a new National record in the 800 metres, finishing her race in a time of 2 minutes 11.85 seconds. Bulikiobo is highly tipped to win the Gold in the 200 and 400 metres events at the Pacific Games Athletics competition in Samoa next month.
