She was the gold medallist in the 10,000 metres at the 2015 African Games, where she also won the bronze medal in the 5000 metres. Aprot claimed gold and silver in the 10,000 m at the 2016 and 2018 African Championships in Athletics respectively. She earned the silver medal for the senior women's race at the 2017 World Cross Country Championships.

In March 2023, Aprot was banned from competition for four years by the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) after metabolite of letrozole (bis-4-cyanophenyl-methanol) had been found in drug test in May 2022. The start of her ban has been backdated to 14 July 2022, when she had been provisionally suspended.[2]
