Mary Moraa proud of younger sister making waves on the track
Mary Moraa has lauded her younger sister, Sarah, who is keenly following in her footsteps to become the next 800m icon.
The second Athletics Kenya meet at the Ulinzi Sports Complex saw runners from all walks of life descending on the track to showcase their talents with Mary Moraa’s younger sister, Sarah Moraa being the center of attention in the women’s 800m.
Sarah oozed class as she obliterated a strong field to win Final 3 of the women’s 800m race in 2:06.26. At the finish line, Moraa awaited her younger sister and embraced her with love.
Lilian Atieno and Winfred Mbithe finished second and third in respective times of 2:09.70 and 2:12.91.
After the race, Moraa shared a photo on her Facebook page, lauding her younger sister for her impressive show at the AK event.
She said: “Baby steps...you shall reach the top. Congratulations kid sister Sarah on your great progress and top performance at the second Athletics Kenya Track and Field Meeting. 2:06.26 (800m) is quite fine.”
In a post-race interview, Sarah told Nation Sport that she was delighted with her progress and revealed that Moraa has been guiding her.
“The intensity and concentration in 800m are high compared to the 200m and 400m but I love how I’m scaling the ladder through the guidance of my sister Mary. She has been such an inspiration,” Sarah said.
The 18-year-old has her eyes focused on the All African Games scheduled for Friday, March 8 to Saturday, March 23.
