Bio
Posting times similar to the other two signees at nearly every distance, Kipchirchir owns the fastest performance of the trio at 8,000-meters, which is the standard distance he will be running for the Golden Eagles during his cross country career. He has covered that distance in 24:30.15, and has a 10K PR of 30:32.47. His top time at 800m is 1:50.22, with a 1,500m effort of 3:48 and a 5,000-meter best of 14:27.56.
Angel on Kipchirchir - Amos is an impact runner with great speed and strength. He will help TTU to become a dominant force in the OVC in the future. Amos, along with Misoy, Rotich and Sambu, will make a formidable foursome that can certainly make an impact in the conference.
