KATA Sprinters Kiambu Camp 16’s own Gladys Muthoni Ngure has been named Female Sprinter of the Year, a well-deserved recognition of her dedication, consistency, and outstanding performances on the track.
Representing KATA Sprinters Camp 16, Gladys has continued to impress throughout the season, capturing multiple medals and setting a strong example for Kenya’s next generation of sprinters. Her drive, discipline, and enthusiasm for improvement have made her a standout athlete within the KATA family.
The award was presented during the Kiambu Sports Awards, where Gladys proudly represented her camp and coaches. Her commitment to training and her positive spirit have made her not only a fast runner but also a role model for her teammates.
“Gladys represents the KATA vision perfectly — combining hard work, focus, and a love for the sport,” said KATA Founder Bob Anderson. “We are proud of her progress and can’t wait to see what she accomplishes next season.”
Gladys’s journey in athletics has been built over years of dedication. According to her longtime coach Julius Gacheru, who began training her in 2015, Gladys has represented Kenya in multiple major events. She competed at the University Games in 2017, was part of Kenya’s 4x400m relay team in South Africa in 2024, and recently shone at the 2025 National Championships, where she captured gold in the 100m hurdles (14.5 seconds) and silver in the 400m hurdles (59.8 seconds).
Her achievements reflect both her personal commitment and the effectiveness of KATA’s structured system — blending world-class training, teamwork, and personal development.
With her latest honor, Gladys joins the growing list of KATA athletes making headlines across Kenya and beyond — proof that the KATA model is producing results at every level.
Congratulations, Gladys, on being named Female Sprinter of the Year. Your determination and speed continue to inspire the entire KATA family.
