Kip Keino Classic: Mercy Oketch Smashes Mary Moraa's Record to Fire Strong Warning to Track Rivals
Young Kenyan sprinter Mercy Oketch broke Mary Moraa’s 400m national record as she stormed to victory at Kip Keino Classic.
Competing from lane 6, Fahnbulleh overcame a sluggish start—his 0.233-second reaction time was the slowest of the final—but he quickly found his rhythm coming off the bend.
South Africa’s Shaun Maswanganyi took the silver medal with a season-best 20.47 seconds. With a quicker start from lane 5 and a reaction time of 0.173 seconds, Maswanganyi kept pace through the curve and looked strong in the home straight but couldn’t match Fahnbulleh’s closing speed.
The bronze went to Switzerland’s William Reais, who also set a season-best of 20.72 seconds. Running from lane 4, Reais held his form well throughout the race and kept off a late challenge from Belgium’s Simon Verherstraeten, who finished fourth in 20.78 seconds, also notching a season-best.
Canadian sprinter Duan Asemota delivered a standout performance, recording a personal best of 20.80 seconds in fifth place. The 1996-born athlete showed experience and strength as he held his own in a highly competitive field.
