ATHLETICS Mary Moraa just getting started after impressive season opener
Mary Moraa has warned that she is just getting started after an impressive season opener where she competed in the 400m at the third Athletics Kenya meet.
“Our main focus is to ensure that she improves her Personal Best time and when she does that, we shall predict what she can get at the Olympic Games,” Sang said.
Hodgkinson and Mu have been known to give Moraa a nightmare when it comes to the 800m but it seems like this season, things will be different.
Moraa managed to shut the duo out last season during the World Championships but they revenged after dethroning her at the Diamond League Meeting final with Mu and Hodgkinson finishing first and second.
As they eye the upcoming Olympic Games, Moraa will be hoping to stun them one more time and she has just started training towards the same.
Sang also disclosed that many upcoming 800m runners in his training camp will prove to be great soon. The tactician singled out, Sarah Moraa, Moraa’s younger sister, and Aaron Kemei among other athletes.
“Yes, we have Sarah Moraa and Aaron Kemei who have started with the 400m, and for now, they are the ones who look most promising,” he said.
