I'd disagree with that - blacks of West African descent tend to make better sprinters and tend to do well in sports requiring explosive bursts of speed. But that is only one facet of athleticism - the top power lifters tend to be white, for instance. UFC? I think you'll find more white champs than black.

As for Kenyans, they are East African, not West.

I think the best athletes - and I'm thinking of some of the greats including decathletes like Brian Clay and Daley Thompson, Muhammed Ali, Tiger Woods, have been mixed race.
