As a senior, she enjoyed most of her early success in the short race at the World Cross Country Championships. After a lowly senior debut of 78th place in 2000 she steadily improved, taking 18th in 2002, then 11th in 2003. At the 2005 edition her fourth-place finish helped the Kenyan women to the team silver medal. She won the individual silver in the short race at the 2006 World Cross Country Championships, leading the Kenyan team to second place behind Ethiopia.[4] She ran in Italy that year and won both the Cross della Vallagarina and Giro Media Blenio races.
Cherono finished seventh in the senior races at both the 2007 and 2008 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, sharing in a team silver medal with Kenya on both occasions. She won the Itálica and Juan Muguerza cross country meets in 2008. She represented Kenya at the 2008 Summer Olympics, coming eleventh in the 5000 m final. Her season ended with a fifth-place finish over 5000 m at the 2008 IAAF World Athletics Final. She missed virtually all of 2009 and 2010 as she took time away from the sport to have her first child.[6]
She came third at the 2010 Lotto Cross Cup Brussels.[7] She ended the year at the BOclassic, where she finished in third place.[8] She defeated Priscah Jeptoo at the Discovery Kenya Cross Country in January 2011 and set her sights on making that year's national team for the world competition.[9] With a third-place finish at the Kenyan Cross Country Championships in February, she secured her return to the world event.[6] She was fifth at the 2011 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, forming part of the winning Kenyan women's team.[10] She was selected for the Kenyan 10,000 m team for the first time for the 2011 World Championships in Athletics and she came fourth in an unprecedented Kenyan sweep of the top four positions.[11] The following month she won the Dam tot Damloop with a world-leading time of 51:57 minutes for the 10-mile distance.[12]
