“I am actually very happy that the team officials, including the head coach to the team manager and the chaperone are all qualified teachers. The reason we have done this is to enable those in school to continue learning even as they are competing,” he added. Tuwei further reminded the athletes to be their brother and sister’s keepers, cheering each other and walking together as a team during their one-week stay in Latin America. The AK president reminded the athletes that Kenya will be the country to beat, hence the need for a solid bond among them. The team of 28 athletes will depart Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for Cali on Friday, ahead of the first race on Monday.
