Career
He also placed 3rd at the New York City Marathon in 2004. He has a few top ten finishes in the major United States marathons of Chicago, New York, and Boston but has yet to duplicate the success that he had in winning Boston in 2004. Interestingly, although conditions were much cooler in 2005 and 2006, Cherigat ran several minutes slower than his 2004 time during both of these years.
