Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Athletics Kenya Nyanza North has waived the registration fee for athletes participating in the regional cross country championships scheduled for Sunday at Kiendege Secondary School.<\/p>\n

Regional chairman Peter Angwenyi said the decision is informed by the need to have as many athletes as possible take part in the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want all athletes from the region to participate in our championships. Most of the athletes are upcoming and thus unable to raise registration fees,\u201d Angwenyi added.<\/p>\n

Angwenyi, who spoke to the Star on phone, further added that they expect to use the event to select 42 athletes for the national championships.<\/p>\n

The nationals will be held at Kapseret in Uasin Gishu County on January 22 while the Agnes Tirop Memorial World Cross Country Tour on February 12.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that we have waived registration fees, we expect a huge field and for scoring purposes, we urge athletes to register from their respective counties,\u201d added Angwenyi.<\/p>\n

He said due to the punishing January weather, the event will start at 9am. \u201cWe don\u2019t want the event to go past noon because of the harsh January weather conditions,\u201d said Angwenyi, adding that the course has already been marked.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, one of the top athletes expected for the senior women\u2019s event has pulled out. Winfridah Moseti, an experienced road racer said she is yet to heal from a nagging hip injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would have loved to participate in the event but I\u2019m yet to recover. I hope to start training in the next two weeks once my physiotherapist gives me a go-ahead,\u201d said Moseti.<\/p>\n

In Moseti\u2019s absence, Faith Bett, Italy-based Teresia Omosa, Christine Oigo and Tecla Nyabuto are expected to dominate.<\/p>\n

In the senior men\u2019s category, the favourites are training mates Sammy Nyokaye and Dickson Simba. They will, however, face upcoming stars in Felix Boera, Aburi Morang\u2019a as well as veterans Richard Atuya and Duncan Manyara.<\/p>\n
