William Kiplagat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Kiplagat (born June 21, 1972) is a long-distance runner from Kenya.
He ran his personal best of 2:06:50 hours in the 1999 Amsterdam Marathon. Although he did not win with this individual record in 1999 – he was third – Kiplagat has two victories (Rotterdam Marathon in 2003 and JoongAng Seoul Marathon in 2005) and six sub-2:10 performances.
He finished eighth at the 2007 World Championships. He won the Portugal Half Marathon in 2004. In 2009 he finished third in the Frankfurt Marathon with a fast time (2:07:05 hours), even though he was quoted as saying he is now more like a coach than a runner.[1]
He is an uncle to Florence Kiplagat, another Kenyan international level runner.[2]
