The next Kenyan sensation??

Sorry, but this guy is as flaky as corn flakes in the Sahara Desert with no milk in sight. He does not comprehend the word "consistency".

will he be running world cross country on march 24th?

I haven't seen any cross-country form from him yet.... It will be interesting to see if he participates in any of the big Japanese cross country events... like Chiba, which I think takes place in Feb.

I'm not sure if he is on the radar of the Kenyan officials for the X country championships...they tend to go for home based runners who typically train in high altitude camps in the weeks leading up to the event.

i cant wait until this guy runs some 5 and 10ks on the track.

One of these times I'd like to grab one of these upcoming African runners and watch as doctors xray his freakin heart

and plumbing! What are these guys born with, a heart as big as a bowling ball and plumbing as thick as fire department hoses! This guy probably started running a year and 1/2 ago. Somebody post if any Kenyan runner ever gets run over by a car...I want to attend that Medical Exam!

Unbelievable!

The Kenyans that don\'t quite make it go to the NCAA and become solid 3:39 and 13:30 type runners. Those are the most fun to watch because you know they will improve dramatically. Imagine a Kenyan that can only run 13:30!!!!

Story by SUNDAY NATION Team

Publication Date: 1/21/2007

Japan based Gideon Ngatuny clocked an impressive 36 minutes and 41 seconds to win the Kisii District 12-kilometre title at the Kisii district cross country championships yesterday.

Ngatuny, who was in Kenya?s victorious team at the Chiba Ekiden last year, beat his closest rival Timothy Momanyi by two minutes.

Momanyi clocked 39:42.10. Fancied Owen Magori was relegated to the third position in 39:43.95 while Evans Gwako was beaten to fourth position with 39:54.78 during the district championships held at the Kisii Golf Course. Speaking after winning the race Ngatuny said: ?I have trained enough and I want to make sure I make it to Kenya?s team to Mombasa. I have trained hard and I?m optimistic I will make it to Mombasa.?

Jacqueline Kemunto overcame three opponents to win the 8km senior women?s race in 29:42.17 and was closely followed by Ruth Bosibori in 29:44.11 while Milkah Kona came a distant third in 33:21.98.

School runners

Ogendi Gisemba clocked 26:11.34 to win the 8km junior men?s race beating Solomon Meraba of Mesabisabi to second spot in 26:13.34 while compatriot Hesborn Ouko came third in 26:21.72.

Kiomiti Secondary School runners dominated the 6km junior women?s race. Favourite Jane Onyangi claimed top honours winning the race in 22:15.03 and was followed by schoolmate Elda Kona came second in 22:58.44.

In Nyandarua, a 27-member squad was selected yesterday at Kwa Nguku running to represent Nyandarua district at the central provincial championships on February 3 in Karatina.

Hotly contested

Upcoming athlete, Charles Munyeki, who won the hotly contested 12km race, beat Japan based Samuel Wanjiru to second place. Munyeki clocked 36.12.3 while Kamau returned 36.25.1.

?It was tough to have Kamau behind me, he is everybody?s favourite. I had to fight hard.? said Munyeki.

In Nyamira, Boaz Mayaka of Kebirigo Athletics Club claimed the Nyamira District 12km title clocking 38 minutes and 16 seconds.

He edged out Evans Mayoyo of Metamaywa to second position in 38:126.36 during the championships that were held at Magombo market.

In Nakuru, Wilfred Taragon won the 12km race when he returned an impressive time of 36 minutes 50.0 seconds during the event staged at the Jomo Kenya Secondary School in Bahati.

Teammate Victor Kigen finished in the second position after clocking 36.56 seconds followed by David Langat whose time was 37 minutes 46. 0 seconds.

winning a race in kenya by 3 minutes in a 12k, this might get some posters mad, but what gideon ngatuny has done in his last few races, surpases haals 5943 half marathon race.

i agree, but why are we comparing him to hall?

The million dollar question is who is coaching this guy and what if anything they are injecting into his bloodstream... the vast majority of "sensations" are coached by Rosa and Hermans --- and dirtier than Barry Bonds.....
