By her own elevated standards, Tobi Amusan said she had a ho-hum outdoor professional debut at the UTEP Springtime meet.

By any other standards, it was rather remarkable.

Looking to sharpen up for the Commonweath Games in Australia in two weeks, the Adidas runner and still-UTEP student ran a 12.79 100-meter hurdles and personal best 10.31 in the 100 meter dash that rank fifth and 11th respectively in the world in this young outdoor season.
