Although it’s unpredictable race, women’s 3,000m steeplechase line up can deliver medals for Kenya on the final day of Africa Senior Athletics Championships in Asaba, Nigeria, today.

Beatrice Chepkoech, the new world 3,000m steeplechase record holder, anchors the strong team that features two-time world under-20 champion Celliphine Chespol and Fancy Cherono, a member of the Commonwealth Games squad to Gold Coast, Australia, last April.
