EVEN more good things have emerged from GTT’s just- concluded `Pinktober’ 5K/10K run/walk with the selection of the 10K winner, Rickie Williams, to represent Guyana at the South American 10k being held in Suriname today.

In the month leading up to the GTT Pinktober run, 17-year-old Rickie, who hails from Waramuri, Moruca, Region One, took advantage of the free training offered by GTT and local coach Leslie Black to prepare for the event.

Coach Black credits Williams’ recent Pinktober training for the win and his ability to, for the first time, participate in a 10K race at an international level.

Williams has been actively competing in the athletics arena for the past two years, and is the current Junior 5000 and 1000 meters champion for Guyana.
In August he won the 5000 meters at the Inter-Guiana Games held in Suriname. GTT extends best wishes to Rickie in his quest to bring home the first place medal.
