Uasin Gishu has flagged off teams that will be representing the county at the upcoming regional school games.
The teams were picked during the county school games held at various venues over the weekend.
“We were able to pick a team that will proceed to Kajiado on Friday this week to represent the county at the regional competition. Winners will proceed to the national competitions,” said Uasin Gishu County Director of Education Harrison Muriuki.
During the competition, Uasin Gishu High School and Moi Girls High School won basketball and football trophies to pick their spot at the regional games.
