Kenya's new kid on the block Daisy Cherotich hopes to extend her blazing run of form at this weekend's Athletics Kenya track and field weekend meeting at Moi Stadium, Kasarani. Cherotich, however, expects a crowded field of star-studded runners, including — potentially — national cross country champion Sheila Chelangat. The two were entangled in a heated and energy-sapping battle at February's national cross country championships in which the Chelangat narrowly beat her to the tape." Cherotich's battle with Chelangat at Ngong' Racecourse during the cross country trials came on the back of a shock win at the Discovery Kenya Cross Country Championships at the Eldoret Sports Club. Cherotich hopes to be among Team Kenya's contingent to the Senior Africa Athletics Championships in Algiers, Algeria on June 1-5 as well as the Tokyo Olympics on July 23-August 8.
