Absa Kip Keino Classic: Omanyala, Were, Moraa tipped for glory

Africa sprint king Ferdinand Omanyala, world 800m women's champion Mary Moraa, national hurdles champion Wiseman Were and former javelin world champion Julius Yego have been tipped for great performances in the sixth edition of the Absa Kip Keino Classic Continental Tour Gold Series slated for Ulinzi Sports Complex in Nairobi on May 31.

"There are new entrants into the fold, but following how the new season has started, I see them carrying the day in this year's championship," Charles Wokabi, Absa Bank Kenya Head of Sustainability, Communication and Corporate Relations, gave out his analysis after they supported the forthcoming race to a tune of Sh60 million on Monday.
