What you need to know:

  • National Cross Country Champion Sheila Chebet, who trains in Iten, Elgeyo Marakwet County, said that her training has improved tremendously, and she believes she will run a good race on Saturday
  • Diana Chepkemoi, a Form Two student at Saramek High School in Kericho County, is out to improve her performance in the global event after emerging eighth last year
  • After failing to secure a travel visa despite making the Kenyan team last year, Nancy Cherop is upbeat that she will be able to represent her country well

Kenya's women's 6km representatives at the World Cross Country Championships in Belgrade have said they are heading to the Serbian capital on a mission.

After watching painfully as Ethiopian athletes scooped gold and silver medals in last year's championship in Bathurst, Australia, relegating Pamela Kosgei to the bronze, the Kenyans are on a revenge mission.
