The World Cross Country champion led from start to finish to cut the tape in 23:32
Kipruto, the world U20 cross-country bronze medalist, positioned himself towards the front of a large lead pack on the first longer lap, which was covered in 6:13. By the end of the second lap, Kipruto had just Tanzania’s John Wele and Kenya’s world U20 5000m champion Andrew Kiptoo for company.
Not wanting to leave it all to the finish, Kipruto ramped up the pace on the third lap and opened up a seven-second gap on his compatriot Kiptoo. He was unable to maintain that tempo on the fourth lap, but he still managed to extend his lead slightly over Kiptoo. Wele, meanwhile, dropped back through the field while Eritrean teenager Saymon Amanuel moved into third.
Kiptoo made up some ground on the final lap, but Kipruto’s lead was too great and he went on to cross the line in 27:26, winning by three seconds. Further back, Mathew Kipchumba came through for third place in 27:45, completing a Kenyan podium sweep.
