Central Rift’s Gideon Rono will spearhead the chase for slots to the national team to Africa cross country championships in Lome, Togo, on March 6-7.

He will team up with Samuel Korambu, Hazard Kibet, Richard Etir, Malnera Michael and Jonathan Kiprop as they face off with stars from South Rift, North Rift and Nairobi –regions that often stage good shows at the junior level.
