16yo impresses at athletics championships

Out of the over 300 budding athletes who competed was a young East New Briton middle-distance runner who put up an impressive performance.

She is only 16 years old but Lyanne Tibu, who is part of the Kokopo City Athletics Association, gave a strong challenge in the Open women’s division during the three-day championship in Port Moresby.   

She’s a Grade 10 student at the Kokopo Secondary School in East New Britain Province.
