NAIROBI, June 23 \u2013 The victorious World Youth trio of Willy Tarbei, Kipyegon Bett and Kumari Taki have set their sights on challenging their seniors for Beijing World Championships selection at the July 31 and August 1 National Trials in Nairobi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Their Beijing dreams however, hinge on invitation to the Trials by Athletics Kenya (AK).<\/p>\n

They underlined their intentions on Thursday when the victorious Kenyan team of 26 returned from Cali, Colombia where they bagged 13 medals (5 gold, 4 silver, 4 bronze) to a heroic welcome where family and friends burst into merry song and dance.<\/p>\n

As is tradition, all gold medallists were adorned with fresh wreaths from the Sinendet tree reserved for conquerors and a swig of the fermented Mursik milk from a gourd to kick-start the ceremony that ended in a sumptuous luncheon at a Nairobi Hotel.<\/p>\n

However, it was Nairobi\u2019s Riruta Satellite Secondary School students who stole the show after hoisting fellow student and the only female gold medallist, Celliphine Chepteek.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverywhere we go, people should know, we who we are! We were born the champions,\u201d over 50 students from the institution chanted in recognition of yet another young global champion from its ranks.<\/p>\n

Promising Tarbei took the boys\u2019 800m World Youth honours on his international debut after coming from seemingly nowhere to stun favourite and African champion, Kipyegon Bett after returning 1:45.58, 0.28 clear of his compatriot\u2019s 1:45.86.<\/p>\n

The pair who came to Cali on the back of huge personal best at last month\u2019s Kenyan Trials in Nairobi where they clocked1:44.51 and 1:44.55 in that order, are also preparing for the September, Commonwealth Youth Games set for Samoa.<\/p>\n

Tarbei (17), a front runner just like 800m Olympic and World record holder, David Rudisha, is however, dreaming to smash his mentor\u2019s record of 1:40.91 in future.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was not expecting to see many people welcoming (us) back because this was my first international assignment; even it was my first time to board an aeroplane,\u201d the lanky youngster said while smiling.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was stiff competition since there were Ethiopians and Bett who is very strong but I\u2019m happy I achieved my target I promised Kenyans when we left for Cali. The climate was too hot but it was favourable, I think I could have bettered my personal best.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we will see how it will go in Trials if I and my friend Bett are given chance since we have the qualification standards,\u201d Tarbei, a Form 4 (final year) student at St. Jude Kokwet Secondary School in Kericho County, stated.<\/p>\n

For Bett, he will be going back to training to rectify his weakness as he targets to lower his personal best to 1:43.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not easy in Cali because climate didn\u2019t favour me but I\u2019m satisfied with the silver. Tarbei\u2019s tactics were fantastic and he had more energy than me but I will train hard to prepare for Beijing Trials,\u201d declared Bett.<\/p>\n

The two will face Rudisha, World Junior champion, Alfred Kipketer, Ferguson Rotich, Jackson Kivuva and London Olympic bronze medallist, Timothy Kitum among others in the eagerly anticipated Trials.<\/p>\n

-Junior record-<\/strong><\/p>\n

After smashing the boys\u2019 1500m championship record, Taki (16) is now aiming at attacking Commonwealth silver medallist, Ronald Kwemoi\u2019s World Junior record of 3:28.81when the event will be held in Kazan, Russia, next year.<\/p>\n

With 2008 Beijing Olympic and two-time World title holder, Asbel Kiprop, Club Games champion, James Magut and Kwemoi likely set to light up the Trials, Taki is geared up for the challenge after setting a new World Youth lead of 3:36.38.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so happy to break the record although it was very tough. It came as a surprise but I was sure of winning gold since I had done enough practice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was so much wind which made it difficult for me and I hope it will not be the same in Samoa since I\u2019m aiming to win gold before going for the junior title,\u201d Taki underscored.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I continue training hard, I will be better like Kiprop in years to come. I will go and try the Trials which I know it will not be easy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

-Top girl-<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chepteek was not only proud by her outstanding performance of a 6:17.15 lifetime best but was grateful to stun African Champion, Sandrafelis Chebet who was tipped to win the girls 2000m steeplechase before being forced to settle for silver in 6:19.61.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had done a lot of practice in clearing the barriers and it really helped me beat Sandrafelis who was a major threat. I didn\u2019t believe I could beat her because she was too good for me during the Trials.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will go and train more and if I make the team to Commonwealth, I will do my best to better my time,\u201d she asserted.<\/p>\n

Vincent Kipyegon did not disappoint after reclaiming the boys\u2019 2000m steeplechase crown from rivals Ethiopia with a 5:27.58 victory to give his nation her final victory in Cali.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very happy to fulfil my dream although I was under pressure because my race was on the last day. Having watched my colleagues win, I couldn\u2019t afford to let them down. I\u2019m preparing to be the World Junior champion next year and World Youth Olympics.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will be competing in 1500m and 2000m steeplechase in Commonwealth and as long as I maintain my shape I\u2019m certain I will win gold in both events,\u201d the 17-year old, from Sotit Secondary School underlined.<\/p>\n

Richard Yator, the boys\u2019 3000m champion (7:54.45) is hoping to shape his career in cross country and 5000m on track when he graduates to juniors next year.<\/p>\n

Kenya will host the next edition in 2017 where another group of talented prospects will hope to match or better the class of Cali that finished second overall in the medal charts behind the might of the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
