Personal life & career

Cheruiyot is from the town of Singorwet, in Bomet County, Kenya, and lives on a farm with his family. Beginning in 2014, he began to train in the outskirts of Nairobi, via the Rongai Athletics Club, under Coach Bernard Ouma. [3]

Early Career: 2015-2018

2015

Cheruiyot's first major milestone in his career was competing on Kenya's Distance Medley Relay (DMR) team at the 2015 IAAF World Relays in The Bahamas. Team Kenya's goal was to improve on their existing DMR world record of 9:15.56 set back in 2006, but the new world record ended up going to the United States, in a time of 9:15.50, while Kenya finished second in a time of 9:17.20. Cheruiyot anchored this DMR (1600m leg) against the United States' Ben Blankenship. [4]

Cheruiyot would have a rematch against Blankenship three weeks later at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon, in the men's International Mile. Blankenship won in a time of 3:55.72, while Cheruiyot finished 3rd in a time of 3:55.80. [5]

Cheruiyot then switched attention to the 1500 m at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing. Here, he made it through the rounds and took 7th place in the final in a time of 3:36.05. [6]

However, despite his successes, Cheruiyot took 4th place in the 1500 m final at the Kenyan Olympic Trials and was therefore unable to represent Kenya at the 2016 Rio Olympics. [2]

Although disappointed by not making Kenya's Olympic Team, Cheruiyot had another breakthrough by winning the 1500 m at the Brussels Diamond League, in a personal best time of 3:31.34. [9]

In 2021, Cheruiyot opened his season by winning the Doha Diamond League in 3:30.48. [30] He finished a shock fourth at the Kenyan Olympic Trials, failing to qualify for the Olympics. [31] However, he was allowed to compete as second-placer Kamar Etyang was barred for participating due to not meeting anti-doping rules. [32] He recovered from his upset to win at the Stockholm Diamond League in 3:32.40. [33] He also picked up the win at the Monaco Diamond League, setting a new personal best of 3:28.28. [34]
