Nigeria’s Divine Oduduru became the first to ever to break the sub-10s in the 100m at the Big-12 Championship on Sunday. Oduduru continued in his fine form for Texatech University as he raced to victory in 9.99 seconds to defend the 100m title he won last year.

The World Leader finished ahead of Joseph Sheffield who finished second in 10.29 seconds and Micaiah Harris in 10.34 seconds in third.

His time in the 100m final knocks off the Big-12 Record set in 2012 by Prezel Hardy Jr. in 10.03s and also doubles as the Stadium Record, taking down a long-term one held by John Garrison since 1976 at 10.04s.

Oduduru’s 9.99s mark has also qualified him for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games making him the second male athlete after Raymond Ekevwo recorded a Personal Best (PB) of 10.02 seconds 24 hours earlier while competing at the SEC Championships.

The Delta-born also ran the second leg in the 4x100m alongside his team mates Andrew Hudson, Keion Sutton and Jacolby Shelton, to set a new School Record (SR) of 38.83s and a new Big-12 Record.

The same quartet set the previous record earlier in the season at the Texas Relays.

It is the fourth time in as many Big-12 Championships, the Texas Tech men’s team hoisted the team trophy as dominant victors over the rest of the conference.
