Tuliamuk brings the nation's third-fastest time of the season into Friday's 5K race.

The time also currently ranks fourth in the world this season, according to the International Association of Athletics Federations. Tuliamuk's time shattered the Wichita State school and Missouri Valley Conference 5K records she set last season by more than 17 seconds.

Her 3K time of 9:11.49 at the January Boston University Terrier Invitational broke school and conference records and ranks 18th nationally this season.

Tuliamuk finished eighth in the 5K at the 2011 NCAA Indoor Championships, earning all-American status with a time of 16:14.38. She won 2012 MVC Indoor Championship titles in the 3K and 5K in late February.
