Peter Burese of Sacred Heart College with his record-breaking jump
Peter Burese of Sacred Heart College broke a 29-year-old record this afternoon in the senior boy’s high jump event during the Suva Zone One Athletics at the HFC Bank Stadium.
Burese jumped a height of 1.95 meters, breaking International Secondary School’s Jonathan Appleby’s record of 1.80m, which was set back in 1996.
Burese first cleared 1.90m before pushing the limits to 1.95m. Though 2.00m was just out of reach, this performance cements his name in Suva Zone 1 history.
