Benin, Nigeria – Two Blue Raiders competed at the Nigerian-national Trials this weekend, preparing for a chance to head back to Oregon for the World Championships. Both Alaba Akintola and Esther Isa went on to prove why they are the best from their nation.
Junior Alaba Akintola ran a lot this weekend as Nigeria kept pushing to have their 4x100 meter team crack the top-16 in the nation ahead of the qualification deadline. Moments after running his third 4x100 in the last 24 hours, Akintola went on to run a 20.
