The Commonwealth Games champion has had a great season so far which has seen him become the second fastest man in the world so far this year. He opened his outdoor season with a dominant display at the second Athletics Kenya meet held at the Nyayo National Stadium
He then went for his outdoor tour in South Africa where he won the two races he was competing in before upsetting opponents in the 100m at the Botswana Golden Grand Prix. He set a world-leading time of 9.84 at the Kip Keino Classic in May but he has since been replaced after Marcel Hughes ran 9.83 last month.
This year is also the season where Omanyala has been keenly invested in the Diamond League Meetings. He opened his campaign at the Meeting in Doha, Qatar, finishing third. He then finished second in the Meetings in Florence, Italy, and Paris, France.
