Former National junior 200m champion, Divine Oduduru recorded three titles all in one day at the Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Waco, Texas on Sunday.

Oduduru’s day started with the 4×100 relay win with a time of 39.39. He was joined by Darien Tennon, Andrew Hudson and Joel Latson, who subbed in to run the anchor leg on short notice. Later on in the evening, Oduduru won individual gold with times of 10.11 in the 100m and 20.13 in the 200m.

The Nigeria’s 200m time goes down as a new Texas Tech record and the fifth fastest time in the US.
