Man Ferdinand Omanyala Emerges Fifth In Kipkeino Classic

Kenya Sprinter Ferdinand Omanyala, on Saturday, did not secure a podium finish in the Men’s 100-metre race during the Kipkeino Classic at Nyayo Stadium. 

Kenneth Bednarek of the United States won the race with a 9.91 finish while Liberia’s Emmanuel Matadi came second with a 9.99 while Great Britain’s Jeremiah Azu rounded up the top three with a 10.00 result.

Omanyala emerged fifth, clocking 10.03 sec. His colleague, Mark Odhiambo finished sixth with 10.22.

During the race, there was a small hitch as the starting blocks were not in line hence causing the athletes to restart. 

This was the first race Omanyala ran in the men’s 100-metre category in 2024.
