Spc. Benard Keter, a soldier-athlete with the Army’s World Class Athlete Program, is representing both Team USA and the U.S. Army during the men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase in Tokyo on June 21.
Keter, 29, is from a small village in Kenya, where a Texas Tech coach scouted him out and helped him come to the United States on a track and field scholarship. He initially went to a community college in Kansas before graduating from Texas Tech. His brother, who is also an Olympian for Bahrain, encouraged him to leave Kenya for the U.S. "Everything was different," Keter said of moving from his village in Kenya to Kansas. "Coming here, you figure out, like, you have your washer and dryer inside the house. You have everything. … I had to learn how to use the shower, I had to learn how to do everything, and you know, everybody was different."
