Dominique Scott-Efurd (née Scott; born 24 June 1992) is a South African long-distance runner. She was a two-time national champion competing for the University of Arkansas in the United States. As a professional runner, Scott has competed for South Africa at the World Championships, Commonwealth Games, and at both the 2016 and 2020 Summer Olympics.

Prep

Scott graduated from Rhenish Girls' High School in Stellenbosch in the Western Cape region of South Africa. Her personal-best times of 4:28 in the 1,500m, 9:40 in the 3,000m, and 34:28 in the 10K road race garnered the attention of Lance Harter[who?] of Arkansas.

Scott finished 6th at the 2014 NCAA cross country championships. She was a three-time SEC cross country, three-time indoor, and four-time outdoor champion. She ran the then-fifth fastest 3000 metres indoor track and field in NCAA history in 2015.
