Nigeria’s
top performers on the track this season Blessing Okagbare-Ighoteguonor
and Tobi Amusan have both arrived in Nigeria ahead of the 2017 Warri
Relays & CAA Grand Prix.
The
2017 Warri Relays & CAA Grand Prix which is fixed for Tuesday, July
18 at the Delta State Polytechnic Stadium, Ozoro, is guaranteed to have
a rich number of top athletes on parade; some of whom are already
arriving in the country.
Okagbare
who last weekend in London ran an impressive 10.99secs in women’s 100m
event is one of the star attractions even as the Sprints queen will hope
to strike a better rhythm on the home front as she counts down to the
World Championships in London.
For
Amusan, the home crowd will have a glimpse of the hurdler who has been
hugging the headlines with breathtaking performances in the circuit in
the United States this season.
Among
other heroics, Amusan last month, won the women’s 100m Hurdles at the
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) title with a new
personal best time of 12.57s.
The
Delta State Government, as well as Solid Works, will be sponsoring the
2017 Warri Relays & CAA Grand Prix which over the years has
attracted top athletes from across the world to the oil-rich and sports
loving State.
Chief
Solomon Ogba, CEO, Solid Works, revealed that outside of the elite cast
of athletes, the High School and Inter-Collegiate Category is also
gathering much momentum as students in and around Delta State are
looking forward to the July 18th Meet with keen interest.
