null

Kennedy Kithuka told Flotrack the day before the race that he wanted to go out hard and finish around 22:30 for 8k at PreNats. Kithuka went through 4k a little under 11:20, which was 5-30 seconds off his goal range, but was leading by nearly 30 seconds over the rest of the field. As he approached the finish Kennedy saw the clock and pushed for home but came up one second short in breaking Sam Chelanga's course record of 22:51 from 2008. Kithuka talks about the race, his thoughts about the upcoming championship season, how he will win nationals and if he's nervous to race Lawi Lalang in November.
