Leading distance athlete Alika Morgan poses with her trophy won at last Saturday’s Telesur 10K which was held in Nickerie, Suriname.

after cruising to victory in a time of 40 minutes 33 seconds to claim the second leg that was staged in Nickerie, Suriname on Saturday.
The leading female athlete speaking with Kaieteur Sport yesterday said she was always confident of winning after assessing the opposition during the first leg of the Series which was held in Paramaribo some three weeks ago.
“I am happy that I won the race, but a little disappointed that I did not match or even better my time from the previous race due to the lack of top class competition and a strong wind that made the conditions difficult for me to improve on my time set at the opening leg,” Morgan stated.
She added that taking everything into consideration it wasn’t a bad performance and now has her sights set on this Saturday’s Independence Day Half Marathon which she disclosed should bring her another victory.
“I am now pointing myself to this Saturday’s Independence Day Half Marathon and I’m feeling confident because it covers a distance that I routinely run during my training,” Morgan disclosed.
