Reigning Africa Under-18 3,000m champion Zena Chemutai is keen to make the cut for the Kenyan team to the World Athletics Under-20 Championships set for August 17-22 at the Moi Stadium, Kasarani. In her last year as a junior runner, Chemutai will be the key highlight at next weekend’s Under-20 pre-trials for the North Rift region at the Tambach Teachers Training College in Elgeyo Marakwet county. After missing out on a medal at the 2018 World under-20 Championships in Tampere, Finland, Chemutai says she will be satisfied with a podium finish on home soil. “I have been training well for the World U-20 show and right now I am at my peak. She started her running career while in standard six at Kapchpso Primary school and first represented the country at the 2018 World Under-20 Championships.
