The penultimate day of the Commonwealth Youth Games in Trinidad and Tobago saw team Kenya bag 3 gold medals to end the championship on a high note.
The gold rush came from the men's 800m with Kelvin Kimutai clinching gold in 1:50:14. Miles Waterworth of England finished second in 1:52.21 as Scotland's Caleb Mcleod settled for the bronze medal in 1:52.83.
The next one came in the men's 3000m final, where Josephat Sang and Andrew Kiptoo renewed their rivalry in a Kenyan-dominated race.
Sang, who had earlier won the 1,500m race ahead of Kiptoo, again reigned supreme after clocking 8:03.65 to relegate the latter to second in 8:04.35. Uganda's Victor Cherotich settled for bronze after clocking 8:19.31 in an all-East African-dominated podium.
In the women's 3000m, the 1500m record holder, Nancy Cherop stamped her authority, easily obliterating the field to win yet another gold medal at the games in 9.07.15.
Cherop was in a league of her own, finishing 18 seconds ahead of Uganda's Financia Chekwemoi who finished second in 9:25.67. England's Eliza Nicholson finished third in 9:26.00.
In Tobago, the beach volleyball duo of Sharon Jepkogei and Abigail Chebet finished fourth after going down 2-0 to New Zealand in a closely contested bronze medal match.
Kenya finished sixth in the medal standings with a total of nine medals, five gold, and four silver.
This performance by team Kenya was a huge improvement from the previous 2017 edition in Nassau, Bahamas, where Kenya won 4 medals; 3 gold, and 1 silver.
