Omanyala targeting sub-10 performances on SA soil

After launching his 2023 season with some superb performances, African 100m record holder Ferdinand Omanyala hopes to deliver his first official sub-10 second performances of the campaign at the opening two legs of the ASA Grand Prix Series.

Omanyala will turn out at the first meeting of the series in Tshwane on Wednesday night and the Kenyan sprinter will compete again at the second leg in Germiston next week (19 April).

"My goal is to run under 10 seconds in both the Grand Prix 1 and 2 events," Omanyala said. "Training is going well and I'm looking forward to a great season. It already took off with a great start, so I'm expecting very fast times this year."
