Maria Awori (born November 8, 1984) is a Kenyan former swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] Awori competed for Kenya, as a 15-year-old teen, in the women's 100 m freestyle at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. She received a ticket from FINA, under a Universality program, in an entry time of 1:04.00.[2] She challenged seven other swimmers in heat one, including fellow 15-year-old Nathalie Lee Baw of Mauritius. She raced to the third seed in a time of 1:06.23, more than two seconds below her entry standard. Awori failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed forty-ninth overall in the prelims.[3][4][5]
