She was fourth in the 1500 meter run at the 1992 World Cup in Havana / Cuba , second in the 1997 European Cup in Munich over 3000 meters and in 1998 in St. Petersburg over 5000 meters, and third in the 2000 European Cup in London over 1500 meters. In 1997 she won the German championship over 3000 meters in the hall. At the World Indoor Championships shortly afterwards in Paris, she came in 13th, although, as was diagnosed later, she suffered from glandular fever . In the open-air season, Fonseca-Wollheim was German champion over 5000 meters and the 3 x 800 meter relay. At the World Championships in Athens, she started over the 5000 meter distance, but had to give up in the run-up due to a late diagnosis of Lyme disease after a tick bite.

At the European Indoor Championships in Valencia in 1998 , Fonseca-Wollheim came seventh on the 3000-meter course. In the open air she became German champion both over 1500 and 5000 meters. In Budapest she started at the European Championships over 5000 meters and finished ninth. In 1999 she defended her German championship title over 1500 meters and at the Military Cross World Championships she won the bronze medal in the 5000 meter run. However, she could not qualify for the Olympic Games in Sydney. She won her last German championship title in 2002 in the indoor hall over 3000 meters. She was trained by her long-time friend, the sports scientist and running coach Jens Bodemer, since 1990 and her first German championship title in the youth over 1500 m in Berlin in 1991 until the end of her career.
