By Francis Mureithi More by this AuthorAt this time of the year, Sigowet Athletics Training Camp at Kiptere Boys Secondary School, some 32 kilometres away from Kericho town, would be busy with budding athletes training hard. But thanks to coronavirus, the training camp now looks like a ghost town. Sigowet Training Camp was founded in 2001 by veteran athletics coach, Japheth Kemei and hosts between 60-100 athletes when it is in top gear. Before Sigowet Camp was launched, the only athletic training camp in South Rift Valley was based at Keringet in Nakuru County and was launched by the former Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association chairman, the late Livingstone Kimutai Ng’etich. Since Cherotich burst into the international scene, Sigowet camp has been producing runners in Under-18 and Under-20 competitions.
