Norah Jeruto Tanui (Kazakh: Норах Джеруто Тануй, born 2 October 1995) is a Kazakh (formerly Kenyan) steeplechase runner. She was the champion at the African Championships in Athletics in 2016. Currently she is an athlete of Altay Athletics club (professional track and field club) in Kazakhstan.
Her international debut came at the 2011 African Cross Country Championships, where she placed sixth in the junior race to complete a Kenyan sweep of the top six.[1] She ran the third fastest time ever for the 2000 metres steeplechase at the 2011 World Youth Championships in Athletics, recording 6:16.41 minutes to take the gold in spite of a heavy fall at the waterjump.[2][3] Later that year she claimed the steeplechase title at the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games, as well as a bronze in the 3000 metres flat.[4] She missed out on selection for the 2012 World Junior Championships in Athletics.[5]
She set a 3000 metres steeplechase best of 9:45.1 minutes at age fifteen, but struggled to improve on that in subsequent seasons.[6] She was selected for Kenya's junior team at the 2015 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, but did not compete.[7]
After a runner-up performance at the Kenyan Athletics Championships, setting a best of 9:28.5 minutes behind Lydia Rotich, Jeruto made her senior international debut at the 2016 African Championships in Athletics.[8] A personal best run of 9:25.07 minutes at the competition brought her the steeplechase gold medal and a championship record.[9]
On May 28, at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon (third stop of the Diamond league) she ran the third fastest time ever by a woman at the 3000m steeplechase in 8.57.98. setting a 2022 World lead. She could've shaved half a second of that time as she thought she crossed the line 2-3 meters before the actual finish line.
On 20 July 2022, she became the first athlete representing Kazakhstan to win the World Championships in Eugene, establishing a new championships record and her national record in the same Hayward Field.
