NAIROBI, Kenya — Canada’s Aaron Brown pulled away down the stretch to win the 200 metres at the Kip Keino Classic on Saturday.

The 29-year-old from Toronto won in a slightly wind-aided — 2.1 metres per second — time of 20.05 seconds.

American Kyree King was second in 20.18, while Isaac Makwala of Botswana crossed in 20.31 for third.

Brown will take on Canadian teammate and Olympic champion Andre De Grasse at the Diamond League stop in Doha, Qatar on May 13.
