Nigerian stars Ogazi, Ajayi set world-leading marks in stunning NCAA performances

Posted : 30 May 2026

Nigeria's track and field athletes continued to make global headlines as Samuel Ogazi and Kanyinsola Ajayi delivered world-leading performances at the NCAA East Regional in the United States.

Leading the charge was quarter-miler Samuel Ogazi, who produced a sensational run of 43.82 seconds in the men's 400m, becoming the fastest athlete in the world this year over the distance.

The remarkable performance saw Ogazi surpass the previous world-leading mark of 43.92 seconds set by Botswana's Collen Kebinatshipi only a week earlier.

The Nigerian also broke his own national record once again, extending a season that has been defined by steady improvement and record-breaking displays.

Ogazi's latest achievement further strengthens his status as one of the brightest prospects in global athletics and a strong contender on the international stage ahead of major championships.

Earlier, fellow Nigerian sprint sensation Kanyinsola Ajayi had electrified the track with a blistering 9.84 seconds in the men's 100m, also recording the fastest time in the world this season.

The outstanding performances by both athletes underscore Nigeria's growing influence in world athletics, with its emerging stars increasingly setting the pace in some of the sport's most competitive events.

With the season gathering momentum, Ogazi and Ajayi have positioned themselves among the leading contenders for honours on the global stage.

These extraordinary achievements highlight the incredible depth and rapid progression of Nigeria's track and field program on the collegiate level. By dominating their respective events against top-tier international competition, both athletes have laid down a significant marker for the upcoming championships. The exceptional form of Ogazi and Ajayi brings immense promise to the nation's athletics future as they prepare to take on the world's best.
