Nyandarua County at the weekend witnessed the coming up of new champions during the Nyandarua County cross-country championship held in Ol Kalou.

During the cross country held at the Ol Kalua Arboretum, Simon Mungai won the senior men's 10 km race in style by creating a one-minute gap from the second finisher.

In the race, Mungai kept pushing, leading in the first kilometre, and by the bell he had created a gap, crossing the finish line in 32:55.28.

Mungai attributed his high speed in the race to regular training at the Nyahururu high-altitude stadium. "Moving my training from Kinamba in Laikipia to Nyahururu has enabled me to concentrate well in my training," noted Mwangi.
