Obviously, my expectations and that of Kenyans who follow me closely is to do better than I did in Mauritius. I couldn\u2019t perform well because of an injury I had and even when I came back for the national trials for the World Championships and Commonwealth Games, I was unsuccessful. Therefore, I had to recover first and come back hard in training,\u201d the Baringo-based athlete said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kirui secured his ticket to the rescheduled global showpiece when he clocked 23:02.09 to win the men\u2019s under 20 8km race at the national trials at the Kenya Prisons Training College on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In second place was World Under 20 1500m champion Reynold Kipkorir who timed 23:06.7 as Dennis Kipkirui came third in 23:12.5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from earning him the right to don the national singlet in February next year in Bathurst, the win in Ruiru also affirmed the youngster\u2019s continued \u2018love affair\u2019 with cross country, which began when he won the juniors\u2019 category at the Agnes Tirop Memorial&nbsp; World Cross Country Tour and has continued with more victories in the Athletics Kenya Cross Country Weekend meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking on his dominance of the juniors\u2019 category as far as the race is concerned, Kirui attributed it to his dedication and dogged attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say that (about being a dominant force in cross country)\u2026there are many others who are just as good as I am but I guess what pushes me is my determination to produce good results. The race itself was tough because every one here is a champion in his own right,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, World Under 20 3000m steeplechase champion Faith Cherotich contends that all eyes will be on her as she carries the national flag high at the World Cross Country Championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/12\/318437406_566342625500198_6305236057893400768_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/12\/318437406_566342625500198_6305236057893400768_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-335381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/12\/318437406_566342625500198_6305236057893400768_n.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/12\/318437406_566342625500198_6305236057893400768_n-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/12\/318437406_566342625500198_6305236057893400768_n-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Faith Cherotich in action at the trials for the World Cross Country Championships.
