Half Marathon World Junior Record broken by Kenyan March 2012

On a side note, can somebody format this first post so the lines of text aren't a foot apart each?

Kenneth Kipkemoi Kenya 5 August 94

Age: 17 years 234 days

10000m

2011 27:48.5hA.....6) NC Nairobi................16 Jul

1/2 Marathon

2009 62:59A........8)Standard Chart.............25 Oct

2011 59:47.........2) Valencia..................23 Oct

2012 59:11 WJR.....3) City Pier City Den Haag...11 Mar

tilastopaja lists him as 1994, but iaaf lists him as 1984. http://www.iaaf.org/athletes/biographies/country=ken/athcode=251199/index.html

It wouldn't surprise me if no one knew exactly how old he is. I am sure the WJR in HM belongs to a Kenyan, but no one really knows to whom.

Kenneth is not junior. born 1984.

tilastopaja is very bad information because the guy (mirko) only do that for money and does not know anything about kenyan running. many errors in his website and datas.

world junior record is 59:16 Samuel Wanjiru.

tilastopaja has some mistakes, but it is easily the best website for statistics in track and field and road running that i know of.

if you know of a better one please tell which one, thank you.

best sources about kenya is specialist Richard Evans and i think you can contact him at

kiprunafrica@gmail.com

tilastopaja has too much mistake especially about kenyan runners. for road running best website is ARRS.

I'll second both Evans and the ARRS as the best sources. The only problem with the ARRS is that the database is largely private and you have to send a personal request to Ken Young to get most kinds of information. Still, what's publicly available is invaluable.
