Jackline Maranga

Jackline Maranga (born 16 December 1977, in Nyanturago, Kisii) is a retired Kenyan middle-distance runner. She won a silver medal at the World Junior Championships at the age of 15, and also won silver medals in the two following Championships, being the only athlete to do so. Quotes Discipline among women is not up to the required standards, she says. The high turnover of women athletes is because they end up in marriage with non-athletes. In most cases, those married to non-athletes find it hard to balance family obligations with the rigorous athletics demands. They must lose one, and in most cases it is their athletics career.
