Adar, one of Uganda’s representatives at the Commonwealth Games capped a bad day by losing to Gombe’s Abraham Chepkuriok in his favourite 800m.
Standard High outlined their dominance in long distances by taking the top accolades in the men and women races with Benson Cheboriot (10000m), Benjamin Kiplagat (5000m) and Nancy Chepkwemoi (5000m) winning their respective events.
“It’s holiday time and the turn up was not that much but the competition was okay,†UAF’s Namayo Mawerere said.
