Yared Nuguse

Nuguse was born to Ethiopian parents Alem Nuguse and Mana Berhe. His mother and father are originally from the Tigray Region of Ethiopia; however, Nuguse's father fled the country in the 1980s as a refugee. At first, his father settled in Arlington, Virginia, which is where he later met his wife.{{Cite web |last1=Joan |last2=elPeriodico.com |date=July 25, 2023 |title=Yared Nuguse: el ganso está suelto |url=https://www.sport.es/labolsadelcorredor/yared-nuguse/ |access-date=September 1, 2023 |website=La Bolsa del Corredor |language=es}}{{Cite web |last=Loyd |date=July 11, 2023 |title=Yared Nuguse Parents and Family: Meet Father Alem and Mother Mana Berhe |work=Bollywood Safar |url=https://bollywoodsafar.com/yared-nuguse-parents-family-father-alem-mother/ |access-date=September 1, 2023 |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Kakshyapati |first=Neeki |date=July 9, 2023 |title=Yared Nuguse Parents Alem And Mana Berhe Are His Inspiration |url=https://playersbio.com/yared-nuguse-parents-alem-and-mana-berhe/ |access-date=September 1, 2023 |website=Players Bio |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Woods |first=David |title=How Notre Dame's Yared Nuguse, son of Ethiopian refugee, went from 'clueless' to Olympics |url=https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/notre-dame/2021/07/28/tokyo-olympics-2021-yared-nuguse-usa-track-notre-dame-louisville/7836648002/ |access-date=October 3, 2023 |website=The Indianapolis Star |language=en-US}}

Nuguse is the fourth of six children. He has three older siblings and two younger twin siblings. Nuguse showed little interest in sports during his earlier years of high school and instead preferred to dedicate himself to his studies, science workshops, and bowling. Eventually, he took up running upon the recommendation of his physical education (P.E.) teacher Mick Motley, who was so impressed by Nuguse's running time in the one mile that he referred him to the school's track coach, Tim Holman. Nuguse then finally made the switch from being on the school's bowling team to track and field.{{Cite web |date=August 14, 2023 |title=Yared Nuguse: America's Accidental 1500-Meter Champion |url=https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a44802404/yared-nuguse-americas-1500-meter-champion/ |access-date=September 1, 2023 |website=Runner's World |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |date=May 6, 2023 |title=Yared Nuguse: American track's low-key superstar |url=https://www.ocregister.com/2023/05/05/yared-nuguse-american-tracks-low-key-superstar/ |access-date=September 1, 2023 |website=Orange County Register |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |date=September 7, 2016 |title=Athlete Q&A {{!}} Manual's Yared Nuguse |url=https://usatodayhss.com/2016/athlete-qa-manuals-yared-nuguse |access-date=2023-10-03 |website=USA TODAY High School Sports |language=en-US}}

Nuguse attended DuPont Manual High School in Louisville, Kentucky, where he was a successful high school runner prior to attending the University of Notre Dame. He planned on pursuing the necessary degree to attend dental school, wanting to eventually become an orthodontist, but put his dental career on hold to pursue professional running. He graduated in 2021 with a bachelor's degree in biochemistry and in 2022 with a master's degree in management.

Nuguse's time was also faster than the 7:28.48 outdoor record, which Grant Fisher set in 2022.

On February 11, he ran the second-fastest indoor mile in history with a time of 3:47.38 at the Millrose Games in New York, smashing by more than two seconds Bernard Lagat’s (who was a two-time world outdoor champion) 18-year-old North American indoor record of 3:49.98. Nuguse simultaneously also broke Lagat's indoor 1500 m record, which was set in the same race in 2005. He narrowly missed out on Yomif Kejelcha's world indoor mile record of 3:47.01 and eclipsed by more than a second the best mark of famous multiple world record-holder Hicham El Guerrouj.

Nuguse was just out-leaned, but nearly caught 2023 World Champion Josh Kerr, who placed second in 3:27.79.

On September 5, Nuguse won the 1500 meters at the Weltklasse Zürich meeting over Jakob Ingebrigtsen, in a time of 3:29.21 to Ingebrigtsen's 3:29.52. Ingebrigtsen reported as being sick prior to the race after setting a 3000 m world record. The wavelights were set to 3:26.73, but suboptimal weather & track conditions proved to be too much for a world lead or world record in the event for either Nuguse or Ingebrigtsen. Given Nuguse & Ingebrigtsen's presence, in addition to the other Olympic medalists Cole Hocker & Josh Kerr who finished third and fifth respectively, this race was billed as an "Olympic rematch" and the "metric mile of the century".{{Cite web |title=Programme & Entries |url=https://zurich.diamondleague.com/en/programme-results/programme-results/#baseFrame#__athDisciplineRoot#DisciplineInit#Zurich_2024_TIMING_ATHM1500M---DIAMOND---FNL-000100--_json##main-frame_content#__athRun#RunSubFrame#Zurich_2024_TIMING_ATHM1500M---DIAMOND---FNL-000100--_json |access-date=2024-09-05 |website=zurich.diamondleague.com}}{{Cite web |title=Zurich DL Preview: A Loaded Men's 1500, Richardson v Alfred, & Will The 14:00 Barrier Go Down? |date=September 4, 2024 |url=https://www.letsrun.com/news/2024/09/zurich-dl-preview-a-loaded-mens-1500-richardson-v-alfred-will-the-1400-barrier-go-down/}}{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KjDPfG2008 |title=Zurich 2024 Press Conference (4th September) - Wanda Diamond League |date=2024-09-04 |last=Wanda Diamond League |access-date=2024-09-05 |via=YouTube}}{{Cite web |title=Zurich Diamond League {{!}} Wavelight Technologies |url=https://www.wavelight-technologies.com/live/diamond-league/zurich-diamond-league/ |access-date=2024-09-05 |website=www.wavelight-technologies.com}}{{Cite web |last=Henderson |first=Jason |date=2024-09-04 |title=Zurich is ready for the metric mile of the century – "the sequel" |url=https://athleticsweekly.com/athletics-news/zurich-is-ready-for-the-metric-mile-of-the-century-the-sequel-1039992254/ |access-date=2024-09-05 |website=AW |language=en-GB}} This was Ingebrigtsen's first Diamond League 1500 metres defeat in three years.{{Cite news |last=Tharme |first=Liam |title=How Yared Nuguse delivered a first Diamond League 1500m defeat for Jakob Ingebrigtsen in three years |url=https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5748916/2024/09/06/yared-nuguse-jakob-ingebrigtsen-1500m-zurich/ |access-date=2024-09-07 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}
