Wiseman Were has called on the Kenyan government to support local sprinting talent now, arguing that with proper investment, Kenya can develop world-class sprinters.
Wiseman Were believes Kenya also has young sprinting talents like South Africa’s Bayanda Walaza, and they only need nurturing to get to the top level.
The 400m hurdles specialist revealed that Kenya does not have to wait for the coming years to support sprinting youngsters, challenging the government to provide support at this time.
Wiseman Were explained that the difference between Kenya, South Africa and Botswana is that the other two nations have taken track and field seriously and are ready to invest any amount of money to ensure that they take the lead in any major events.
