Strathmore University hosted the Kenya Archery Nationals cum Open Competition on Saturday, 31 October 2026, with Macharia Ndegwa crowned national champion.

Archers from seven nations took part: Kenya, Uganda, Mauritius, Italy, Germany, Great Britain and China.

Strathmore's Student Affairs news service reported the result on 5 November, and the university's official Instagram and Facebook pages the same day showed Ndegwa with a gold medal and a wooden plaque engraved "KENYA NATIONAL ARCHERY CHAMPIONSHIPS 2026 PARTICIPANTS".

Ndegwa took up archery in 2015, while still in primary school, and trains at Strathmore University under Kenyan Olympian Shehzana Anwar. He has spoken of an Olympic dream, telling the Daily Nation in 2023 that Strathmore hosts the only permanent archery range he could train at.

The university's report does not name the other category winners.
