Maiyo highlighted the story of Aldrine Kibet, a former secondary school athlete who sealed a move to Spanish LaLiga club Celta Vigo, as a testament to the potential of these championships to change lives.

He also addressed challenges, notably the need for timely student registration on the KEMIS and KSSSA portals.
