Organizers of the third Athletics Kenya weekend meeting have dropped three events due to lack of equipment at Gusii Stadium. AK Nyanza South region chairman, Peter Angwenyi, yesterday said pole vault, steeplechase and high jump will not be held during the meeting scheduled for tomorrow and Saturday.
“We don’t have landing gear at Gusii Stadium so we shall not have pole vault and high jump. Steeplechase will equally not be held as the barriers are in poor state and can’t be repaired in time for the meeting,” added Angwenyi.
However, he said they expect elite athletes to grace the event that will serve as a build-up for the Commonwealth Games. “Gusii stadium has one of the best running tracks in the country and will no doubt attract the top runners,” he added more
