ATHLETICS Sprinter Justine Isaboke sets lofty ambitions in quest for international breakthrough

Talented sprinter Justine Isaboke will be seeking for international breakthrough this season as he opens up on his targets this season.

Sprinting sensation Justine Isaboke is a man on a mission as he looks to make a breakthrough on the global scene this season.

Isaboke was in a class of his own during the second Athletics Kenya meet where he won the 100m race, shaking off competition from the likes of Ferdinand Omanyala’s younger brother Isaac Omurwa. Isaboke clocked 10.52 to cut the tape ahead of Meshack Babu who clocked 10.55 as Tyson Juma completed the podium in 10.58. 

The trailblaze has his eyes set on the All-African Games before bidding for a ticket to the World Relays in the Bahamas and hopefully even making the cut to the Olympic team in Paris, France later this year.

“I’m targeting the All-African Games and the World Relays in Bahamas. If all goes well, I would also love to make my first appearance at the Olympic Games in Paris…if I won’t make the cut to the individual event, I won’t mind competing in the 4x100m relay,” Isaboke said.

He added that his body is responding well to the training and he has cleared most of the mistakes he had last season. However, things don’t stop there since he noted that there are certain areas he has to work on if he is to realise his dreams.

“The race was good since I had trained well and what I know is that my reaction and take off are at per.

“I need to work on the last 40m because I have been struggling…though, I feel like I have improved. I think I will also have to work on my starts and acceleration,” he added.
