The 19-year-old Kosgei has an impressive International resume with times in multiple events that would put her in the top of the NCAA. Her personal best in the 3,000-meter steeplechase ranks number two in the nation. Kosgei’s cross-country 10k ranks number two as well.

Kosgei has plans to go to the Olympic Trials over the next six weeks, with hopes of representing her country Kenya.
