2 of our boys: Curtis Kamotho and Adam Otieno, put in hard work and dedication to be selected to represent Kenya in the Federation of East African Secondary Schools Sports Association games held at Bukedea Comprehensive School in Uganda on August 24, 2024.
The air was filled with excitement and nerves as the Kenyan Schools Swim Team arrived at the venue. Curtis, with his swift strokes and determination, was ready to take on the 5 events he had entered. Adam, equally eager, lined up for his 4 events, believing he could make his country proud.
The competition was fierce, but Curtis shone brightly in the pool. He secured a remarkable silver medal in four different events: the 100m Backstroke, 200m Medley Relay, 200m Mixed Relay and the 100m Breaststroke. Only his 50m Backstroke kept him from the podium, where he finished in 4th place, just missing out on the medal.
Meanwhile, Adam also put in a solid performance. His strategy and speed earned him bronze in both the 200m Individual Medley and the 50m Breaststroke. But what made him particularly proud were his silver medals in the 100m Freestyle and as part of the 200m Medley Relay team.
As the event concluded their efforts were instrumental in securing 2nd place for the Kenyan Schools Swim Team overall.
In the end, Curtis and Adam didn’t just bring home medals; they brought back lifelong memories, making their families, school and country proud. We hope for future championships for the two swimmers and possibly more swimmers from our school.
