Biography
As a 14 year old, Ngetich ran a time of 3:51.00 at altitude for the 1500 metres at the Kenyan national junior championships.[1]
His first major international competition was at the 2012 IAAF World Junior Championships, where he set a PB of 3:40.39 in the final to finish 2nd. Ngetich only lost to Hamza Driouch of Qatar, who later served a two-year drug suspension for doping that annulled his 2012 Olympic results, but not his world junior championships result.[2]
Two years later, Ngetich won another medal at the World Junior Championships in Eugene, Oregon, this time a bronze losing to countryman Jonathan Kiplimo Sawe and Abdi Waiss Mouhyadin.[1]
Ngetich ran his personal best time of 3:32.97 at the 2016 KBC Night of Athletics, towed along by Ayanleh Souleiman.[3] His best finish at a Diamond League meeting was at the 2015 Shanghai Golden Grand Prix, where he finished 2nd in the 1500 m in a photo finish.[4]
