The continental show is scheduled for April 29 to May 3 in Lusaka, Zambia.
Others including Damaris Mutunga and Elkanah Chemelil are also expected to perform well since they are from a training camp in Miramas, France.
“We expect them to perform well because they are a very strong team. I believe they will do much better than the team that was sent to Ivory Coast three years ago. This will also be an opportunity for the sprinters to hone their skills
We have athletes who have the experience from the regional competitions and the global events who will lead the other ones in the continental show,” Korir said.
During the 2019 edition in Ivory Coast, the youngsters won the Under-18 title and settled for second place overall in the Under-20 category behind South Africa.
