Team Kenya received training equipment worth Sh2m yesterday ahead of the 2017 International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World under-18 Championships set for July 12-16 in Nairobi. While presenting the equipment to Athletics Kenya, the LOC’s chief executive officer, Mwangi Muthee, indicated that apart from organising the teen athletics bonanza, Team Kenya is a priority for them. In addition to the equipment, Muthee intimated that friends of Kenya in Germany will send a German coach to bolster Team Kenya’s technical department. Notwithstanding, Team Kenya has been tipped to bag the top honours at the 2017 IAAF World under 18 Championships. AK Nairobi branch chairman Barnabas Korir said Team Kenya will continue working together to ensure they field the best athletes.
