AS KENYA HEADS FOR THE 12th edition of the World Junior Championships that kick off on July 8 in Bydgoszcz, Poland, it is clearly the team to beat.

Benson Kaptikou and Emah Muthoni are this year's Safaricom Lewa Conservancy Marathon winners. Kaptikou, from Kapsang'ar in Mount Elgon, clocked 2:21.39 to win the 42km race.

Armed Forces sprinter Vincent Mumo held on strongly to deny former Africa 400m champion Ezra Sambu on his way to win the one lap event well within the Olympic qualifying time.
