Africa Under-18 3,000m champion Zenah Jemutai is keen to represent her country and bag a medal when she lines up for the World Under-20 Championships scheduled for August 17-22 in Nairobi.

After qualifying in a competitive race during the National Under-20 Trials, Jemutai said she will dedicate the remaining few weeks to improve on her final lap.  “I want to improve on my speed especially in the final lap that has been my major challenge,” she said.
