When Beatrice Chebet crossed the finish line at the Eugene Diamond League this past weekend, she didn't just break a world record; she broke through yet another glass ceiling for Kenyan women in sports.
The 25-year-old made history as the first woman to ever run the 5000 metres in under 14 minutes, clocking a jaw-dropping 13:58.06.
In those few minutes, Chebet once again reminded the world that quiet strength and relentless determination can move mountains.
The Eugene meet, affectionately known as the Prefontaine Classic, wasn't just another race.
