Kenya has won at least five overall titles at the World under 20 Athletics Championships since its inception in 1986.
The nation lies second in medal charts with 186 medals behind USA’s 247. Sadly, it only boasts two title defences from Wilfred Kirochi (1500m) in 1986 and 1988 editions as well as Mercy Cherono in 3000m from 2008 and 2010 editions.
