Sitonik’s impressive 3000m caps the action as curtain draws on World Youth champs - Lille 2011

Lille, France - William Malel Sitonik, on the fifth and final day of a fantastic seventh edition of the IAAF World Youth Championships, became the fifth Kenyan 3000m gold medal winner.

Keeping his nerve in a race which went to the wire he lowered his 2011 lead and PB of 7:51.2 set at altitude in Nairobi to a new Championship record of 7:40.10. The Kenyan who led from gun to tape decimated the previous Championship mark of fellow Kenyan Isiah Koech who posted 7:51.51 two years ago at the last Championships in Bressanone.
