World and Olympic steeplechase champion Conseslus Kipruto will drop the barriers in favour of the boards on 25 February when he competes at the Müller Indoor Grand Prix Glasgow, the sixth and final stop on the 2018 IAAF World Indoor Tour.
In what will be just the third indoor race of his career, the 23-year-old Kenyan will contest the 3000m flat at the Emirates Arena in a bid to improve on the indoor PB of 7:55.76 he set at the same venue in 2016. Given his steeplechase PB of 8:00.12, Kipruto should be capable of also rewriting his outright 3000m flat PB of 7:44.09, set outdoors when he was 17 years old.
