Kaore ia i whiwhi karahipi, engari i angitu tana tiimata mo tana mahi oma. I wini ia i te mētara hiriwa i te 5000 m i te 2006 World Junior Championships. I te 2007 World Cross Country Championships
I mutu ia i te tuarima i roto i te whakataetae pakeke, i te wa i riro ai te kapa Kenyan i riro ai ia i te mētara hiriwa i te whakataetae kapa.
