Joana Vugatini of Ratu Latianara College

14-year-old Joana Vugatini of Ratu Latianara College who won gold in the girls open 3,000 metres in the Coca-Cola Suva Zone 2 has dedicated her win to her father.

Vugatini says her father inspires her because he ran in the zone meet when he was in form 3 to form 7.

She says preparations for the zone began in week 5 as she trained on the road everyday.

The 14-year-old says she was not aiming to win today but she is grateful that her hard work has paid off.
