In six seasons as a Hawkeye, she earned three NCAA All-American honors. Nukuri made her first Olympic appearance at age 15, running the 5000 meters at the Sydney 2000 Games. She moved up to the marathon for the London 2012 Olympics, and then returned to the track this past summer in Rio, where she set a new national record of 31:28.69 in the 10,000 meters. Nukuri also holds Burundian national records for 1500 and 5000 meters on the track, as well as every distance on the roads from 10 kilometers to the marathon. MEDIA GUIDE 93
