Kenya Shines in Steeplechase at African Games with Silver and Bronze
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.
