Nigeria’s Ofili hits stunning 10.94s in Miami

Nigerian sprint sensation, Ofili Favour, continues to be on fire as she hits an impressive 10.94s in just her second 100m race of the year at the Grand Slam Track meet in Miami.

The Louisiana State University Alumni (LSU alum), who opened her season with a strong 10.99s, displayed distinct signs of good form as she shaved 0.05 seconds off that mark, firmly establishing herself among the season’s early pace-setters.

Even though her performance was not enough to win the race, signals that she’s on track for a breakthrough year.

American sprinter, Melissa Jefferson-Wooden got the main attraction by a blistering win with 10.75s, aided by a +2.4 m/s tailwind. Not far behind was fellow American Tamari Davis, finishing strong in 10.79s.

The quick times across the board highlight the growing intensity in the women’s 100m event this season, as competitors set early benchmarks in anticipation of a busy summer of athletics.
