Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My best memory as an athlete would have to be ranking 4th in the African Junior Championships, which took place in Tunis, Tunisia. It made it so special to me, because this event really gave me the feeling that all the hard work and sacrifices had truly paid off, as all the competitors came from the entire continent.
Goals:
To be able to achieve my full potential and talent, by leaving behind an incredible track record of achievements, not only for myself but for my institution as well! Another goal of mine is also to represent my country of Kenya at all the big international events, with the ultimate goal being the Olympics!
Anything else we should know?
With the current happenings around the world in terms of racism, I would like to be in an institution that is accommodative to me as a student who comes from a different racial and cultural background.
