CanadaContinental Cup Silver 2010 Split 1500 m Nicole Edwards Sifuentes (born 30 June 1986) is a Canadian track and field athlete who specialises in middle-distance track events.
Hailing from Winnipeg, Manitoba, her first global outing came at the 2003 World Youth Championships in Athletics in Sherbrooke where she reached the semi-finals of the 800 metres.[1] After graduating from high school, she went to the United States to study at the University of Michigan.[2] Competing for the Michigan Wolverines, she had success with the college's relay team, which included a collegiate record double in the 4×800 metres relay and 4×1500 metres relay at 2007 the Penn Relays.[3][4] At the following year's event, Edwards ran the meet's second fastest ever distance medley relay with the Michigan team, and repeated the same feat in the 4×1500 m relay.[5][6]
The 2010 season marked a breakthrough into the senior national track team. She was selected for the 1500 metres at the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships, but she did not manage to make the event final.[1] She earned selection for the combined Americas team at the 2010 IAAF Continental Cup and won the silver medal in the 1500 m, finishing ahead of her more experienced American counterpart Christin Wurth-Thomas.[7] She also gained selection for the Canadian athletics team for the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi.[8]
She married fellow University of Michigan graduate Tony Sifuentes in 2011.[9]
