Malava, whose last title came in 2018, were outclassed for large stretches of the match despite pockets of resistance in the third set.
Cheptil’s fluidity and tactical discipline proved decisive, and they now close the gap on the all-time leaderboard where St. Patrick’s Iten remains unmatched with 17 national titles, including an unmatched streak of 14 consecutive wins between 1971 and 1984.
The girls’ final saw a repeat of last year’s clash between Kwanthanze and Kesogon Girls, but unlike the tense battle of 2024, this edition was one-sided. Kwanthanze, coached with precision and driven by experience, cruised to a dominant 3-0 win (25-17, 25-6, 25-16).

Kesogon, the 2023 champions, appeared overwhelmed by Kwanthanze’s relentless pace and pressure, particularly in the second set where they managed just six points.
In the bronze medal matches, Sulumeti Girls edged Soweto 3-2 (21-25, 25-17, 19-25, 25-15, 15-13) in a rollercoaster contest to take third place. In the boys’ playoff, Coast representatives Mwaluphamba staged a strong comeback to defeat Gogo 3-1 (20-25, 25-20, 25-23, 25-22), rounding off their campaign on a high.
