Nuhu, who previously competed for Cloud County Community College in Kansas, has been a standout performer in the 400m event, setting a new national record for Ghana with a time of 51.46 seconds at the NJCAA preliminary rounds in May 2025.
At LSU, Nuhu will join a distinguished track and field program known for its excellence and depth in sprints and hurdles.
Welcome to the Bayou, Rafiatu!

The Tigers have recently captured multiple individual honors, including three first-team All-American nods for Nigerian sprinter Tima Godbless, who became the first freshman in the nation to earn such accolades since Sha’Carri Richardson.
Nuhu is poised to further develop her skills and contribute to the team’s success, with LSU’s strong sprinting tradition.
