Kisii University will host the Nyanza South track and field Championships/Under-20 Trials on Friday, according to regional chairman Peter Angwenyi.
After examining the location and Cardinal Otunga High School, Mosocho, Angwenyi decided on Kisii University."The running track at Kishii University is in better condition than it is at Cardinal Otunga. Gusii Stadium is currently undergoing redevelopment, which is where we would have hosted this event. We are pleading with the Kisii County Government to accelerate the project," Angwenyi stated.
All competitors from Kisii, Nyamira, and Migori Counties are welcome to compete, according to Angwenyi.
The pole vault, high jump, steeplechase, and hurdles events, he stated, will not take place because of a shortage of equipment. There would be a selection of 24 to 30 athletes, he continued.
