Biography

Iakopo was born on February 10, 2006, in the Northern Mariana Islands.[2][3] She is of Chamorro and American Samoan descent: her father, an Air Force veteran, is from American Samoa, while her mother is from Saipan.[3] She began competing in athletics in seventh grade.[4] After being coached by her father for a time, her father hired Olympian Peter Pulu to help train her.[3] She also has competed in bodybuilding events, participating in the 2021 Dee Clayton Classic championship along with her father.[5]

Iakopo attended Kagman High School in Saipan; she graduated in 2024 in the top 10 of her class.[3] While in high school, she began competing in international competitions representing American Samoa, setting several national records, including in the 100 metres and 200 metres.[3][6] She made her international debut at the 2022 Oceania Athletics Championships and competed in the 100m and 200m events; her father, then-aged 49, also competed in those events.[4] She later competed at the 2022 Pacific Mini Games, the 2023 Oceania Cup, the 2023 Pacific Games, the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships and the 2024 Oceania Athletics Championships.[3] At the 2024 World Championships, she competed in the 60 metres and set the national record.[2]

After Iakopo graduated from Kagman High School, she decided to attend Baylor University, majoring in neuroscience, in 2024.[3] In July 2024, she was selected to compete at the 2024 Summer Olympics in the 100 metres.[3][7] She was named the American Samoan flagbearer at the competition.[3] Iakopo set an American Samoan national record of 12.78 in the preliminary round of the 100m at the Olympics.[2]
