MAKIN BEATS THE BIG BOYS ! - and girls !
The tiny atoll of Makin proved that size is not everything if you have quality ! So they won the Womens' competition, the Mens' competition, and the overall trophy ! Brilliant !
ROAD RACE RESULT.
In place of a Track M5000m., we staged a Road Race in the early morning of Friday, Nov. 14th. This was just under 5000m. and used the main Causeway, out-and-back. There were six competitors. The first three were:-
01. Kiantarawa (Tabuaeran) 18-32.6 02. Tamoaieta (Butaritari) 18-57.6 03. Atanimango (But) 19-24.5
The first three were awarded engraved medals (remaining from earlier years) and souvenir T-shirts, plus their prize money. The other three also received souvenir medals (from previous KAA competitions).
WHERE THE MEDALS WENT ?
If you wish to see where the medals went, please access the Kiribati National Games web-site, using the same basic route as for this site. Although the overall winners are still Makin, the table gives a different picture in detail. To be inclusive and encourage participation, a points system is fairer.
