Chemutai is the Ugandan record holder for the 3000 m steeplechase and 5 kilometres road race.

Career

Hailing from the Bukwo District, she took up running in 2013 after attending the District Athletics Championships in Bukwo as a casual fan.[3] At the 2015 Commonwealth Youth Games in Apia, she won silver medals in the 1500 metres and 3000 metres.[3][4]

In 2016, the 17-year-old finished in seventh place in the final of the women's 3000 m steeplechase event at the 2016 IAAF World U20 Championships held in Bydgoszcz, Poland.[5]

At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, her time of 9:31.03 in the heats did not qualify her for the final.[6][7]

She also competed in the junior women's race at the 2017 IAAF World Cross Country Championships in Kampala, finishing in seventh place.

At the 2018 World U20 Championships held in mid-July, she claimed a notable silver medal in the 3000 m steeplechase. A week later, at the Monaco Diamond League, she set a national record with a time of 9:07.94.

In 2019, she competed in the senior women's race at the 2019 IAAF World Cross Country Championships held in Aarhus, Denmark. She finished in 5th place.[8]

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Chemutai competed in the 3000 m steeplechase. She beat pre-race favorites such as Beatrice Chepkoech and Hyvin Kiyeng Jepkemoi to finish with a time of 9:01.45, a national record, and win the gold medal.[2][9] Chemutai became the first Ugandan woman ever to win an Olympic medal in any sport.[1]

In 2024, Peruth won the 3000m steeplechase race at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene in a time of 8:55.09, beating her own national record and running under the 9-minute barrier for the first time, her time moved her up to 6th on the all-time top lists.[10] Peruth won the silver medal in the 3000m steeplechase at the 2024 Summer Olympics, finishing behind Winfred Yavi in a new Ugandan national record of 8:53.34.[11]
