Miracle Ezechukwu was again the star on the final day of competition at MTN CHAMPS Jos, stunning with a massive Personal Best (PB) of 24.05s (-0.8) to win GOLD in the Junior women’s 200m final.
The Nigerian Tulip International College student in Abuja left it to no chance, getting an explosive start and leading to the end. She surpassed the World U20 Championships qualification standard of 24.35s and improved the PB she set last year at the Abuja Grand Finale by over half a second.
Ezechukwu led a 1-2 finish with her teammate Chigozie Rosemary Nwankwo who also dropped a PB of 24.58s to finish 2nd, while Ojone Akubo-Adegbe placed 3rd in 25.63s – a repeat of the 100m podium.
