Coming from theatre as an actress, working as a bar attendant, Lily Murgor has set her focus to represent Kenya at the World Cross Country Championships set for March 30 in Aarhus, Denmark. She will be appearing at the national championships for the second time after missing a slot in Team Kenya to the Africa Senior Athletics Championships last year in Asaba, Nigeria. The athlete decided to take up her new career after Kiplagat gave her training kit and started training in Iten in 2014 without a manager or coach. She has since joined Kiplagat at GSC an d her running style has changed and hopes to make Team Kenya to the global show. She then quit and began working as a bar attendant in Nairobi but her elder sister Beatrice invited her to Iten and was introduced to Kiplagat and immediately started training.
