Cherotich, the world champion in 2025, shone during an intense race, outpacing her compatriot Doris Lemngole and Bahrain's Winfred Yavi. Her time of 8:51.74 surpassed the previous meeting record, set in 2018. At just 22 years old, she adds this success to her impressive resume, which includes two Diamond League titles and an Olympic bronze medal. Lemngole also achieved a remarkable personal best.
