Cook Islands rep Nicholas was a distant 99th in 147.67 seconds.
The top 20 advanced directly to the semi finals, with a further ten spots up for grabs in the second round repecharge.
Nicholas produced a much-improved run to finish 36th in 96.65 seconds, while Tuiraviravi was 56th in 122.22 seconds.
