ISAIAH K. KOECH 19 Dec 1993
I never saw this coming from this kid. I saw many of performances and knew he was good but nothing indicated he would explode in 2011.
The 17 year teenager destroyed yet another World Youth BEST in the 3000m after his sensational 12:53 5000m. Isiah's 3000m Indoor Youth record is also the 3rd fastest youth performance indoors or outdoors. Just how many Youth records and World Junior records will this kid break. I HOPE I'M WRONG but I ask how many youth and world junior records because I don't see him running beyond 2013.
