Lilian Odira claimed a decisive victory in the women's 800m at the Kenyan Championships at Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi, finishing in 2:00.44. She expressed satisfaction with her performance and noted the event's increased competitiveness. Odira aims for Commonwealth Games qualification and was motivated by Audrey Werro breaking the 1:54 barrier, which she says opens doors for others to run faster times.
In the men's 800m, Wyclife Kinyamal narrowly won in 1:44.58, just ahead of Kelvin Loti, who finished in 1:44.62. Kinyamal, who had not trained for two weeks due to back issues, credited his win to experience and a cautious approach.
Timothy Cheruiyot took the men's 1500m in 3:32.28, signaling a strong return to form. He held off world bronze medallist Reynold Cheruiyot, who finished at 3:32.35. Cheruiyot, a two-time Commonwealth Games silver medallist, voiced confidence after a strong season and aims to improve his Commonwealth results.
The women's 1500m was won by Naomi Korir in 4:08.57, followed by Teresia Muthoni Gateri (4:09.60) and Rosemary Longisa (4:10.01). The championships also served as trials for Kenya’s Commonwealth Games team.
