Over 240 Athletes Take Part in Fifth Round of National Athletics Trials

The Uganda Christian University (UCU) Mukono played host to the fifth round of the National Athletics Trials on Saturday 27th April attracting a formidable lineup of over 240 athletes competing in various track and field events. The event witnessed a mix of both seasoned athletes and emerging talents vying for top honors in disciplines including athletics, discus, long jump, triple jump, javelin, and shot put.

One of the standout performers of the day was Haron Adoli, who clinched victory in the 400m event. Adoli, aiming for a spot at the 2024 Paris Olympics, expressed his determination to make the most of such competitions to bolster his quest for qualification. The Ugandan prisons runner, who recently finished fifth at the All Africa Games in Accra, Ghana, emphasized the significance of these trials as crucial tests for athletes seeking international recognition.
