Barnaba Korir, Athletics Kenya youth affairs committee chairman on Wednesday said all student athletes will now be available for the national trials for the under 18 and under 20 events, which will be jointly held at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani from March 20 to 22. The African under 18 and 20 championships will be jointly held in Ivory Coast from April 13th through to the 20th. They will, consequently, begin their championships with athletics followed by basketball, hockey, rugby and handball. This is the first time there is a clash in the AK and schools sports calendar after athletics, which has traditionally been a term two event, was brought to term one. Athletics Kenya deputy treasurer Kimoni Kisalu had, however, said that AK would invite the Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) to a round-table to discuss ways of harmonising the dates.
