Justin Gatlin has offered advice to sprinters like Kishane Thompson and Fred Kerley on how to stop Noah Lyles, citing Christian Coleman's victory over his American counter part during the 60 meter dash final of the 2024 World Indoor Championships as an example.
Olympian Lilian Odira sealed the podium, competing in her first cross country this season as she looks to have a great build-up ahead of 2025. Speaking after her win, Naomi Korir expressed satisfaction with her performance and noted that she will be switching to the 800m after competing in the 400m for long.
“Endurance is key. I am currently focused on the cross-country series, but next season, I plan to shift my focus to the 800. Nelly Jepchirchir is my mentor and a great inspiration to me,” Jepchirchir said.
The men’s 2km loop race saw Reynold Cheruiyot claim top honours with Vincent Kipketer finishing third in the race.
