They came prepared. They delivered. They conquered.
Our athlete Rosemary Nwankwo Chigozie set the tone in the girls’ 100m heats flying to a Personal Best of 11.71s to win her race with authority. Fast forward to the final, she’s the new African School Games Champion, clocking 11.76s to take gold.
Right beside her every step of the way was Miracle Ezechukwu Nigeria’s U18 sprint queen, who cruised through her heat and returned with even more poise to take silver in 11.86s. Back to back brilliance. Both athletes are products of N-Youth Sports Academy nurtured under the sharp eye of Coach Abdulkareem Kankia one of Nigeria’s brightest young coaching minds, quietly building a sprint dynasty and redefining youth athletics in Nigeria. This is more than a medal haul it’s a movement. Nigeria is sprinting into the future, one champion at a time.
