Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks and months they spend preparing for it.

That is how field specialist Henry Elder looks at the current Coca Cola Boys defending champion, Suva Grammar’s chances for the 2011 event.

Elder who trained most of the well known long and triple up jump champion believes that the Grammar boy’s preparation could be the difference with other schools in the tracks especially the sprints events.

He added that the Lion’s Camp have with them a coach like Jone Delai who has a lot of success in his record books.
