“I’m believing to hit 65 meters mark before the end of the season. This is achievable because I threw 53 meters which is almost a standing throw”, she told aclsports.com.

“It’s been cold here, but the weather is getting better and trying to adapt to the weather”, Nwanaga noted.

She said, “Thank you Jesus and to all my friends and UMBC athletes I thank you all for your support and to my coach thanks for being there for me. Don’t lose hope better days ahead”.

Nwanaga also had her Personal Best (PB) in the Shot put event with a throw of 12.35 meters
