“Opening my season today was good and I have run the heats so I’m waiting for the final tomorrow to see what will happen.

“Training is okay and we have just started with speedwork and the season is still young. I just came here to test my body and know where I stand,” Moraa said after competing in the heats of the 400m at the third Athletics Kenya meet.

The Commonwealth Games champion added she is uncertain about competing at the World Indoor Championships scheduled for March 1 to 3 in Glasgow, United Kingdom. “About the World Indoor Championships, my coach knows better and he will be the one to decide,” she added.

Meanwhile, Moraa and her cousin, whom she mostly refers to as her sister, Sarah Moraa have been training together with the latter saying she has learnt a lot from Kisii Express.
