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.
