Swimming: Lwak Girls' Kowido wins three titles

Lwak Girl’s Nicole Kowido was the swimmer to beat as she dominated the Nyanza Region secondary schools gala at the Aga Khan Academy Gymnasium, where she won three titles.

The 17-year-old, who was cheered on by her schoolmates, swam to victory in three races that earned her a ticket to the national games to be held in Embu next month.

Kowido, who won silver at the 2017 East Africa secondary schools swimming gala, was in top form as she timed 1.51.03 to win the breaststroke 100metres race. She then won senior girls' 50m butterfly in 50.47. [Philip Orwa]
