Career
[edit]Ngeny made his first international team at the 2022 African Championships in Athletics, where he competed in the 800 m and the 1500 m. He led the first-round qualifiers in the 800 m and finished 5th in the finals, and in the 1500 m he qualified for the finals but did not finish the race.[2]
Later that season at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, Ngeny placed 3rd in his 800 m semi-final and did not qualify for the finals.[2]
Personal life
[edit]Ngeny trains in Kaptagat. After initially seeking a track and field scholarship in the NCAA, the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns drove Ngeny to run professionally instead.[1] He drew inspiration from Emmanuel Korir.[1] He trains with Wycliffe Kinyamal.[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
