World 1,500m bronze medalist Reynold Cheruiyot and world under 20 3,000m bronze medalis Denis Kemboi dominated third and final day of the combined national championships as Athletics Kenya named the final team for international events.
The federation named 104 athletes ahead of the World Relays and African Championships after the conclusion of trials at the Ulinzi Sports Complex today.
With word relay championships in Botswana, the nation will have 30 athletes while 74 will be competing at the African Championships in Accra, Ghana.
The World Relays are slated for May 2-3 in Gaborone, Botswana, with the African Championships taking centre stage from May 12-17 in Accra, Ghana.
In Gaborone, Kenya will parade five relay teams, the 4x100m and 4x400m mixed relays, men’s and women’s 4x400m squads, as well as the men’s 4x100m team.
The continental assault in Accra will be spearheaded by five-time javelin champion Julius Yego and world 1,500m bronze medallist Reynold Cheruiyot, both carrying the weight of expectation as seasoned campaigners.
Kenya’s relay ambitions will be anchored by Africa’s fastest man Ferdinand Omanyala alongside seasoned sprinter Millicent Ndoro, forming the backbone of the nation’s sprint arsenal.
Athletics Kenya President Jackson Tuwei exuded confidence in the squad’s readiness, expressing belief in their ability to rise to the occasion on both fronts.
