Omanyala overcomes jetlag to qualify for semis in Oregon - KBC

The Kenyan gem, Omanyala arrived at the track about two hours before his 100 M race. He was placed in the seventh of seven heats, buying him some extra time to stretch out. He finished third in his heat, which was good enough to move him through to the semis. "#Omanyala made it through. Great effort. But it’s usually Day 2 when the real travel fatigue sets in. Hopefully he can overcome it. Will be difficult", observes @MJGold.

 #Omanyala finished third behind Abdul Hakim Sani Brown who won the race in a season’s best time of 9.98secs with Australia’s Edward Osei-Nketia finishing second with a 10.08secs time on the clock. The semis are scheduled for 4am tomorrow morning and Omanyala will be hoping to be fit for a place in the final.

We wish #Omanyala well. To the joyriders, SHAME ON YOU!
