Joseph aims for long distance throne :: Mmegi Online

As a first timer in the athletics cross country races, Kitsiso Joseph believes she has all it takes to dominate the long distance races. On Sunday (yesterday), Joseph won the Lefika Athletics Club's Kopong Cross Country Race on her first try.

The BDF Athletics Club runner clocked 38.58.58 minutes in the senior women 10km race. "I believe I am okay in either of the disciplines, either slope or flat. I came here to make good times, to be in a position to qualify for international competitions. There was no challenge at all.

I feel like I am ok with any terrain either road or hills. I am just good at it, it depends how much training I had," Joseph said. She, however, was not happy with her time as she feels she could lower it by four minutes. She anticipates a good year on the track as she targets to dominate the long distance races.
