Kenya’s legacy in the steeplechase continued to shine at the African Games, with the nation securing both silver and bronze medals in a race that holds a special place in their athletic history.
Amos Serem, the former World U20 3000m steeplechase champion, delivered a silver-winning performance, finishing just behind an Ethiopian runner.
Simon Kiprop, who previously earned a bronze at the World U20 Championships, added to Kenya’s medal haul with a bronze of his own, completing the race in 8:26.19.
In a noteworthy display of emerging talent, Edmund Serem, the younger sibling of Amos, also made his mark by finishing sixth with a commendable time of 8:31.21.
The performance of the Serem brothers and Kiprop highlights Kenya’s depth in the event and points to a promising future for the country’s steeplechase prospects.
