EMILY Nanziri composed herself after a false start in the 100m, to win both the 200m and 400m in the Kyabazinga national trial at Bugembe on Saturday, the first of the six regional track and field championships to be held in the country.
Ian Kipchumba, Geoffrey Akena and thrower Janneth Acan also won two events each in the event.
Nanziri was disqualified in the 100m after she beat the gun, allowing Mildred Gamba to take the 100m title with ease.
However, she returned to beat Gamba in the 200m sprint by over a second. She capped her day with victory in the 400m race, beating Halima Nakayi by two seconds.
Geoffrey Akena had little challenge in the men’s sprints while Waiswa Lukungu did not disappoint the home fans, beating Kassim Latigo in the 400m event.
Nakayi was spot on as she won the women’s 800m, saying that her target was to win a medal at both the World Youth Championships and Youth Commonwealth Games due later in theyear.
But it was Kipchumba who had the best run of the day.
After winning the 1500m, many thought he was worn out. He started the 800m race slowly but used his long strides to win.
