Just after clinching double tittles in Machakos Cross Country a fortnight ago, Maureen Jepkoech Chebor was at it again in the 10km senior women at the second Athletics Kenya Kapsokwany Cross Country Weekend Meeting held on Saturday (26) at the Kapsokwany Boys Secondary School in Bungoma County.
The 21 year-old who graduated to the senior category after participating at this year’s Sirikwa Classic Cross Country Championships where she finished in 13th place in the Junior category race, beat a strong field that included the World Road Running half marathon bronze medallist, Catherine Reline and former Kenyan Delvine Relin Meringor, who now trades for Romania.
