The NYP Kenyan and his distance runners



Do You Know?

Philip is a self proclaimed "Kenyan" and he is currently good enough to be "outsourced" to Mr Ghana (National Long and Middle D coach).. Philip has a dream and his dream is to hold all long distance records of NYP before he graduate..

Philip was part of the "records tumbling group" where he broke the school's 10km record.. but since he finished the race half a stride behind his senior, Kevin, the school record is now under the name of Kevin..



Do You Know?

Marcus is currently the best 800/1500m runner in NYP history having break the school's 800m record at IVP and the 1500m at the 3rd All Comers FY'07.. He is a double bronze medalist at the recent IVP as well..

Adding to his medal collection, Marcus did the school proud in the POL-ITE road race by finishing second, winning a silver medal for NYP..



Do You Know?

Jerome is the only person in the team so far to qualify for both the 800m and 1500m National Junior events.. Though no as good as Marcus, he had been training hard as the team look set to challenge for Top POL-ITE honours in this year's IVP..

Jerome had also represent NYP in the recent POL-ITE road race championship..



Do You Know?

Nazri is prone to injury but that does not frustrate him from returning to training.. In the recent IVP, he shocked everyone in the 800m field when he and Marcus did a 1-2 finish in the first of the two rounds.. He eventually fade off to finish in a respectable position..

Naz won a medal of each colour in the previous ISG meet and he is part of the 4x400m school record breaking team..
