Mweresa to face off at 400m semifinal in Birmingham

Former All Africa Games 400m silver medallist Boniface Mweresa qualified to run at the men’s 400m semi-finals at the ongoing Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England.

Mweresa will be the only Kenyan to compete in the race after Olympic and World 800m champion Emmanuel Korir was disqualified despite winning heat six in 46.20.

Another Kenyan William Rayan found the going tough to finish fifth in heat seven hence falling short of qualifying.

Korir was disqualified for lane infringement to see Zibane Ngozi from Botswana win in 46.33

Rayan clocked 47.08 in heat seven to fall on the way as Jonathan Jones from Barbados won in 46.39.
