Lubbock, Texas - Texas Tech's five-time national champion Sally Kipyego will be taking her talent to the Reebok Boston Indoor Games on Sat., Jan. 26. She will be running the 3000M, which is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center on the campus of Roxbury Community College.

Kipyego will be facing stiff competition as Tirunesh Dibaba, who is a three-time World Cross Country Champion, and the two-time World Champion in the 5000M, will be running. Dibaba also owns the 2007 World Championship in the 10,000M.
