SPC Benard Keter

3,000m Steeplechase

In 2010, Benard had graduated high school, and wanted to do something that would change his life, and his family’s. He found quick success with running, and came to the US on scholarship. Having watched his brother run in the Olympics, Benard chose to specialize in steeplechase, a race he says “is not just a physical event, but more of a mental event.” He ran for Wayland Baptist University and later Texas Tech University – and now pursues hopes for Olympic greatness through WCAP.
