The first-ever Golden Eagle student-athlete to win four-consecutive NAIA All-America honors, Nikki (Peterson) Duncan dominated her competition in the pool from 1991-95 and is the second female ever inducted into the Golden Eagle Hall of Fame.

Originally from El Cajon, Calif., Peterson was a standout swimmer in the 200 backstroke, 400 individual medley and the 500 freestyle events, as she earned All-American status in each event her freshman season. At the time of her graduation, Peterson held program records in all three events in addition to the 100 backstroke and the 1650 freestyle. She was named the John Brown University Outstanding Female Athlete of the Year all four years she attended JBU.

In 1992-93, Peterson captured her second-consecutive 200 backstroke All-America honors before going on to win the 100 backstroke National Title. She wasn't done, however, as during her senior campaign, Peterson left with a pair of National Titles, including the 500 freestyle and the 1650 freestyle, landing the NAIA's Swimmer of the Year award.
