Andrea Foster continued her impressive form with her first win of 2016 in the Bigi Broki Waka Bridge 10k event which was held in Suriname last Sunday.

Foster clocked a fast time of 43:32s to finish ahead of her female counterparts while finishing ninth out of 175 participants.

Foster highlighted, that the race was a good one for her but also related that the bridge because of its steep climb was a tough challenge.

Meanwhile, Cleveland Thomas dominated the male version of the race winning the event in a time of 34:59s while Trinidad based Guyanese Lionel D’Andrade fished second in a time of 35:16s. Winston Missenger grabbed the fourth position with a time of 35:57s which averted a Guyanese top three sweep.

While the 10k event saw Guyana having success, Devaun Barrington lit up the 5k circuit, winning the event in a time of 17:11s.

Barrington was pleased with his race and noted that 2016 will bring more success.

All of the athletes except D’Andrade are expected to be a part of the Linden’s cross country event on January ninth while D’Andrade will be in Trinidad competing.
