Speaking to the press after the selection, branch assistant secretary Hezron Mokamba said the athletes would make their first appearance as a team during Athletics Kenya's Kisumu track and field meeting on March 5.
Athletes behind the launch of the Kisii camp include Peter Angwenyi, the Athletics Kenya public relations officer, also the branch chairman, international athletes Philip Mosima, Japan-based Stephen Mayaka, Charles Obwoge and Lucia Subano, who is currently in Canada.
