Nigerian sprint sensation Tima Godbless stormed into the women’s 100m final at the NCAA Outdoor Championships with an impressive 10.91s (+2.2 m/s) performance in Oregon, www.aclsports.com reports.
Godbless exploded out of the blocks and led for most of the semifinal heat before being narrowly edged out by Ohio State’s Leah Bertrand, who was awarded the win by just 0.001 seconds, both athletes clocking 10.91s.
This marks Godbless’s second time running 10.91s, equalling her fastest time under any conditions and underscoring her status as a top contender for the NCAA title. Her consistent form is a strong statement ahead of Saturday’s final at Hayward Field.
With her explosive start, composure under pressure, and remarkable consistency, Godbless heads into one of the most competitive 100m finals in recent NCAA history as a serious title threat. If she maintains this form, the Nigerian star could make history, not just as a finalist, but as a potential NCAA champion.
