Kenya is set
to pick its team for the International Schools Federation (ISF) World Schools Cross
Country Championship during trials set for March 27-28 at Nakuru High School.
The Ministry
of Education has directed its regional directors to fast-track the Term One
Cross-country Championships calendar in order to allow the regional top six
athletes to compete during the trials.
The top ten
finishers in each category during the trials will qualify to represent the
country in the world inter-schools championship scheduled for May 9-14 at Ngong
Race Course.
Close to 500
students from over 20 countries will compete in three categories for both
genders; under-20, under-15 and under-18.
Besides
sporting activities, the organisers are planning to spice up the championship
with cultural activities to give delegations opportunities to exchange and
learn about each of the participants and their countries.
Last year’s
25th edition was held in Slovakia.
