Previously she was the 2015 world youth champion and the 2016 world junior champion. IAAF has reported two different birthdates for her, March 23, 1999 in her athlete profile and June 22, 1998 in her Diamond League profile. If the 1999 birthdate is accurate, her 9:25.15 at the 2016 race would be a world youth best. Earlier in 2017, she finished third in the 2017 World Cross Country Championships Junior race, leading Kenya to the team silver medal, one point behind Ethiopia.
