Not to be outdone, Francis Adilu claimed the bronze medal in the men’s U20 400m event, contributing to Uganda’s overall success on the first day of the championships.

Originally slated to host the championships, Uganda Athletics Federation (UAF) faced challenges due to delays in completing the Namboole National Track. As a result, the Ugandan team departed on Wednesday, April 24th, to represent the country on the regional stage in Zanzibar.
