Career
Jebet took the opportunity to run for Bahrain at the age of sixteen, transferring her eligibility in February 2013. The teenager excelled in her debut outing for Bahrain, coming second in the 3000 metres steeplechase to Moroccan Olympian Salima El Ouali Alami at the 2013 Arab Athletics Championships. Her time of 9:52.47 minutes was a Bahraini national record for the event.
She improved upon her own mark that July at the 2013 Asian Athletics Championships, where she seized the lead from the start and never relinquished her position.
This time ranked her as the top Asia steeplechase runner that year. That same month at the Weltklasse Zurich with older competition, she set the Asian continental record at 9:20.55, missing the World junior record by only.13 of a second (ranking her #31 of all time).
