Kenyan squad for Doha
25.02.2010 World
Vivian Cheruiyot, the 2009 outdoor World 5000m champion leads a small but high quality Kenyan line-up of seven athletes for the 13th IAAF World Indoor Championships, Doha, Qatar (12 – 14 March).
Cheruiyot is in great form having run Ethiopian rival Tirunesh Dibaba close over Two-Miles last Saturday in Birmingham. At this rarely run distance her time of 9:12.35 was a Kenyan best, and just short of Dibaba’s winning time (9:12.23). Cheruiyot’s 3000m clocking en route to that time was a very promising 8:41.0, indicating that she is in the form to improve her national record for that distance, a time of 8:30.53 which she set on the same Birmingham track a year before.
