Misoi, a 1999 African 3000m steeplechase champion, who is also a coach in Nyahururu said many potential steeplechasers are forgotten as attention shifts to a few fast-rising stars.
He said the country had a huge potential, adding that he was impressed by the Complete Sports time trials.
"Those of us who are back to help in nurturing the next generation of steeplechase athletes are not relenting until we regain our stranglehold," Misoi said.
Former 800m Commonwealth champion Japheth Kimutai, who is a director at Complete Sports says more time trials will help coaches in identification of potential talents.
Kimutai said the return of legends in the quest to reclaim steeplechase dominance is giving Kenya's push to win more medals in the steeplechase as the race towards the 2025 Tokyo World Championships begins.
"The results of the time trials are impressive. Our legends feel that the potential is huge," Kimutai said.
Athletics Kenya Uasin Gishu chairman Joseph Boit said training more coaches is part of the process to regain steeplechase and other events.
Wycliffe Cheruiyot an upcoming steeplechaser from Nyaharuru, who won one of the 3,000m steeplechase heats at the time trials said he hoped to be among the athletes who will bring back the 3000m steeplechase glory.
Athletes from different clubs competed in a tough contest for best times.
Lornah Jepkoech from Kaptagat-based Complete Sports said: "I run 5000m but I have always wanted to be a steeplechaser. I am happy that I emerged top after I decided to give it a try. My 3000m steeplechase begins. I want to compete alongside Olympic silver medallist Faith Cherotich."
