– Morgan places second among women
Guyana’s distance athletes continued to do well overseas when on Saturday, Lionel D’Andrade regained the Suriname Marathon title that he lost last year to the Kenyans. D’Andrade won with a time of 2:45.19 ahead of another Guyanese, Kelvin Johnson.
Johnson finished his race in 2:49.35 ahead of Suriname’s, Guillermo Udenhout,
who was third in 2:50.20; D’Andrade and Johnson have been consistent for Guyana in the region in distance. They are both based in Trinidad and Tobago where they compete regularly.
Speaking with Kaieteur Sport yesterday, D’Andrade said that he continues to focus on the longer distance. He said that he will compete in a Cross Country race in Trinidad this weekend. He also named Builders Lumber Yard and the Guinness Bar at Plaisance Line-top as his sponsors for this weekend’s race in Trinidad.
Meanwhile, Alika Morgan placed second at the Suriname Marathon with 3:50. Morgan is a two-time winner of the race. She said that she was not prepared for the 2013 event, but still managed to hold off the eventual winner for three-quarters of the race.
“I didn’t prepare much. It was a last minute thing, but I am still satisfied. I ran with the winner for a long time and I know I didn’t put much work in, so I relaxed and settled for second in the race,” Morgan told this newspaper yesterday.
The local distance ace thanked Prime Minister, Samuel Hinds, Minister Jennifer Westford and Trans Guyana Airways for their support. Morgan had also placed second in the South American 10km Road Race Classic in Guyana a few weeks ago.
