Courtney Frerichs (born January 18, 1993) is an American middle-distance runner and steeplechase^[2] specialist from Nixa, Missouri,^[3] She is a three-time silver medalist in the 3000 meters steeplechase capturing silver at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, the 2017 World Championships in London and at the 2018 World (Continental) Cup in Ostrava. In 2021, she became the first American woman to run under nine-minutes in a women’s 3000-meters steeplechase event with a time of 8:57.77; establishing an American and Area record. She is a two-time Olympian making the US team in 2016 and 2020. In both of her Olympic Trials she finished second to US National Champion, Emma Coburn.

Frerichs made history at the 2017 World Championships where she and her teammate, Emma Coburn, finished 1-2 in the 3000-meters women’s steeplechase, with Coburn taking home the gold and Frerichs the silver medal, thus becoming the first female Americans to win the gold and silver medal in any individual World Championships or Olympics race longer than 400 meters since the 1912 Stockholm Games.^[4] In that race, they outran four of the five fastest women in the world which included the world record holder and 2016 Olympic gold medalist, Ruth Jebet, the defending champion and 2016 Olympic silver medalist, Hyvin Jepkemoi, the number one ranked runner in 2017, Beatrice Chepkoech, and Celliphine Chespol, second fastest in the world.

On July 20, 2018, at the Herculis meet in Monaco, she finished in second place behind Beatrice Chepkoech's world record 8:44.32 performance. Frerichs' time of 9:00.85 moved her ahead of Coburn for the American and North American (NACAC) records in the steeplechase and to 6th place on the all-time fastest list. Frerichs won the steeplechase NCAA title at the 2016 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships as a Lobo, setting a collegiate record of 9:24.41.
