Hopes are high in the Jasper Williams High School athletics camp that their star athletes will be fully recovered by tomorrow.
Mereseini Naidau who won gold in the 3,000 and 1,500 metres last year is still recovering from an injury while Mereseini Vukici who also won two gold medals in the Inter girls 400 and 800 metres is still sick.
Jasper Coach Antonio Raboiliku said the two athletes have been sitting out during training.
Raboiliku said they have been doing the hard yards and now the onus is on the athletes to defend their title.
