Ferdinand, a UoN BSC student is Kenya’s fastest in the 100m race

University of Nairobi student Ferdinand Omanyala Saturday blasted to the fastest time in 100m on Kenyan soil during the second leg of Athletics Kenya Relays Series at Nyayo National Stadium.

The 25-year-old Bachelor of Science chemistry won the 10th heat in 10.11.

Ferdinand is looking forward to representing Kenya in international competitions.

Speaking to the Nation newspaper, he said, “I intend to compete abroad. It’s time to go international now. The performance is as a result of the good preseason I had with the Kenya Sevens rugby team in November and December. It’s a shame my time won’t be ratified as a national record but God’s time is the best. It will come gradually,” said Omanyala.

Omanyala’s win was not ratified as a national record because it was wind assisted
