Please note: During National trials for team Kenya on Friday 7th and Saturday 8th, an athlete can win the trials but if he/she does not meet the required time, he/she cannot make the team.
In such cases, an athlete who already recorded the required time even before the trials, he/she is selected to the team. These are RULES and not discrimination or corruption. KINDLY NOTE THAT!!
For example, if an athlete X wins the men 10,000m at the trial in a time of 27:25 and he has never recorded 27:10 in 10,000m within the qualifications period, the athlete does not make the team. However, if an athlete Z in the same trial finish 10th in a time of 28:11 but he he had run 27:10 a few months ago (within the qualifications period), the athlete can be selected to the team.
