Kenya’s fastest man Ferdinand Omanyala who is a shape mof his life time will lead team Kenya to the World Athletics Relays Gaborone, slated for Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd May in Gaborone, Botswana.
Omanyala and Mercy Oketch will lead the country’s podium charge as the Kenyan team departs for the global championships tomorrow morning.
Kenya will field five relay teams: the mixed 4x100m and 4x400m relays, the men’s and women’s 4x400m squads, and the men’s 4x100m team. Africa’s fastest man and seasoned sprinter Millicent Ndoro will anchor the squad’s sprint ambitions, forming the backbone of Kenya’s speed arsenal.
Athletics Kenya President Lt. Gen (Rtd) Jackson Tuwei expressed strong confidence in the team’s readiness, stating that the athletes are well-prepared and in high spirits. “We hope and believe that the athletes will perform well. They are prepared and motivated. We wish them all the best as they go out to represent the country,” said Tuwei.
