Durban: Alice Aprot spearheaded a Kenyan sweep in the women’s 10,000 metres, posting the fastest time on the continent at the African Athletics Championships in Durban Saturday. For much of the race, Aprot ran on her own as the field stretched out considerably over the 25 laps with the Kenyan stopping the clock in a world-leading time this year of 30:26.94. The 22-year-old smashed a previous best of 31:24.18 from her 2015 African Games title-winning run by almost a minute. “I am happy with that time,” she said. “I ran my previous best in Brazzaville and running this time is important to me as it is an Olympics year,” Aprot said.
