Nigeria Trials: Amusan, Enekwechi win national titles again ahead of World Championships

Both athletes repeated dominant performances, with Amusan breezing almost effortlessly to her third consecutive National title in the Women’s Hurdles event. Enekwechi also powered to his third consecutive National title in the Shot Put event.

She hardly broke a sweat to emerge champion again, strolling to a win in 12.70s. Even though 12.70 isn’t fast enough by Amusan’s standards, her closest competitor, Faith Osamuyi, came a distant 2nd in 13.90s as Kemi Francis-Petersen came third 3rd in 14.14s.For Enekwechi, he successfully defended his Nigerian title, winning the men’s Shot Put by throwing a distance of 21.09m.

Itsekiri looked good, running the fastest in the men’s 100m semis after winning Heat 2 in 10.12s. In the final, he held firm and pulled away to reclaim the title he first won in 2019, with Seye Ogunlewe and Alaba Akintola following in second and third positions, respectively.With the absence of those many will term as ‘favourites’, Blessing Ogundiran seized the moment and emerged champion in the women’s 100m, taking her first national title.
