National Under-20 10,000m race walk champion Harrington Wanyonyi is optimistic of delivering a medal for Kenya at the World Under 20 athletics championships set for August 17 to 22 at Moi Stadium, Kasarani. The two-time Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) silver medalist, who won both the pre-trials and the trials, said: “This is the right time for me to improve tremendously in race walk since I have good training facilities." Wanyonyi will be representing Kenya internationally for the first time but he believes he has done enough to be competitive. However, I need to work on a few tactics,” added Wanyonyi from his base at Sports View Hotel, Kasarani, where the junior team is camping. Margaret Gati will be Kenyan's sole representative in the corresponding women's race walk.
