Otieno reacted well from the blocks to take the lead at 50m before winning the 100m title to erase Mike Mokamba's record of 10.23 set in 2015 during Nationals. Earlier on, Otieno had claimed his maiden national 200m title to also qualify for the World Championships. Otieno clocked 20.40 seconds to win the race, beating the World Championships qualifying mark of 20.44. Former national champion Mike Mokamba wasn’t able to defend his 100m and 200m titles owing to a hamstring injury.
