Barnabas Kipyego (born 12 June 1995) is a Kenyan 3000 metre steeplechase runner. He was the 2014 World U20 Champion in that event.

Biography

Kipyego's first major international competition was the 2014 IAAF World Junior Championships in Eugene, Oregon, where he won the world junior steeplechase title in a time of 8:25.57.[1] His countryman Titus Kibiego led early in the race, but with one lap to go Kipyego took the lead and he had the best final two barriers to win with a final-lap time of 61.21 seconds.[1]

The next month, Kipyego made his Diamond League debut at the Birmingham Diamond League, finishing 3rd in a world U20 leading time of 8:17.03.[2]

Kipyego was a regular participant in Diamond League steeplechase races over the next several years. He was ranked 10th in the LetsRun.com 2016 year-end rankings, where it was noted that in any other country Kipyego would be a top-tier prospect, but he was overshadowed due to the Kenyan dominance in the steeplechase at the time.[3] Due to this steep national level competition, Kipyego never made a World or Olympic team for his country.
