HISTORIC SEASON FOR PHANUEL KOECH
At just 18 years old, Phanuel Koech has made history—becoming the first Kenyan ever to run under 3:29 for the 1500m twice in a single season.
✅ Paris Diamond League: 3:27.72
✅ London Diamond League: 3:28.82
With his 3:27.72 performance in Paris, Koech now ranks as the 4th fastest Kenyan of all time, behind only Bernard Lagat, Asbel Kiprop, and Silas Kiplagat.
He is also the fastest junior (U20) in the history of the 1500m.
