Posted : 09 June 2023
Rosemary Chukwuma of Texas Tech University has reached the peak of her performance at the ideal moment, displaying her exceptional abilities by achieving an impressive Season's Best time of 11.01 seconds.
This outstanding performance has earned her a well-deserved spot in the women's 100m final at the highly anticipated NCAA Championships.
Demonstrating her dominance, Chukwuma comfortably emerged victorious in her race, surpassing Georgia's Kalia Jackson.
Notably, her time stands as the second-fastest among all semifinals, trailing only behind Julien Alfred's exceptional 10.99-second sprint.
This marks the second consecutive year that the Nigerian speedster has secured her place in the 100m final, following her previous achievement with a lifetime best of 10.99 seconds.
What sets this year apart is the historic milestone that Chukwuma, along with fellow Nigerians Favour Ofili and Grace Nwokocha, has accomplished.
This is the first time in NCAA history that three Nigerian women will compete in the women's 100m final, truly exemplifying the immense talent and representation from Nigeria in collegiate athletics.
Chukwuma's journey this season has been one of ups and downs.
After a remarkable start during the indoor season, she faced a series of inconsistencies towards the end, followed by a challenging start to the outdoor season.
However, her recent performance indicates a return to her peak form, and she now stands as a formidable contender who can challenge for a place on the podium.
As Saturday approaches, all eyes will be on Chukwuma as she aims to secure a stunning upset victory over Alfred, the favorite for the title.
With her exceptional speed and determination, she carries the hopes of becoming a national champion or medalist, fulfilling her immense potential and leaving a lasting mark on the prestigious NCAA Championships.
