Junior distance runner Diane Nukuri earned all-America honors in the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Sacramento, CA, late Thursday night. She placed seventh in the event with a collegiate-best time of 33:30.29.
Nukuri is Iowa's fifth all-American in the 10,000 meters, but is the first to earn the honor in that event since Jennifer Brower in 1992. She is also the first Hawkeye distance all-American since Tina Stec in the 3,000 meters in 1994. Nukuri earned all-America honors for the Hawkeyes at the 2006 NCAA Cross Country Championships and was a 17-time National Junior College all-American at Butler Community College from 2004-06.
