Team Kenya Could Win The 4x4 At Worlds
Team Kenya could win the World Championship 4x4 led by three NCAA freshmen.
It's been four years since Kenya sent a men's 4x400m team to the World Championship meet. In 2013, the Kenyan men ran 3:06.29 to finish seventh in their heat. Led by three NCAA freshmen this year, Kenya has a roster that could compete for a medal at the IAAF World Championships in August.
Team Kenya's potential roster:
These four marks combined equal 2:58.27. That time would have been good for third, third, first, and third in the last four Olympic/World Championship 4x400 finals.
