Team Kenya won two gold and three silver on the fourth day of the Commonwealth Youth Games in Trinidad and Tobago
After massive success in the heats, Kenya’s athletics team went on to win gold and silver in a 1,2 sweep in both men and women's 1,500m races at the Commonwealth Youth Games in Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday.
Nancy Cherop, followed by teammate Janet Chepkoech on the last lap of the women's 1,500m, stepped on the gas leaving the rest behind to finish first and second respectively, earning Kenya the first pair of medals at the games.
The men's 1,500m race followed shortly after with the duo of Josephat Sang, who broke the Commonwealth Youth Games record, and Andrew Kiptoo doing the same as the women's team before, crossing the line first and second to give Kenya yet another gold and silver.
Sang clocked 3:37:66 to shatter the record previously held by fellow Kenyan Kumari Taki. Andrew Kiptoo followed closely, also running a personal best 3:38:12. The athletes are set to run 800m heats as well as the 4x400m mixed relay.
In the para discus, Titus Maundu, in the class of T63, bagged silver in a closely-contested affair. Maundu, who was recently introduced to the sport, managed to throw a distance of 20m. Nicholas Kalonzo came fourth after a throw of 23.33m.
