Day two of the MTN CHAMPS Grand Final in Ibadan delivered high drama, with the 100m finals across junior and senior categories taking centre stage and producing a flurry of Personal Bests (PBs) and Season’s Bests (SBs).

In the Senior Men’s event, pre-race attention focused on Tejiri Godwin, who had set the pace with a blistering 10.29s PB in the heats. He was closely followed by Chidera Ezeakor (10.31s) and Enoch Adegoke (10.34s), setting up a highly anticipated final.

The showdown did not disappoint.

Ezeakor and Adegoke delivered one of the defining moments of the competition, crossing the line in identical times of 10.15s to share the title in a thrilling dead heat. The performance marked a new personal best for Ezeakor. Osama Chibueze followed in third, clocking a lifetime best of 10.35s.

In the Senior Women’s 100m, Maria Thompson Omokwe stole the spotlight at the Lekan Salami Stadium, surging to victory in a stunning PB of 11.26s. Her time matches the fastest recorded on Nigerian soil in 2026, set by Miracle Ezechukwu.

Omokwe showed remarkable consistency, improving from 11.35s in the semi-finals before producing her best run when it mattered most. Janet Sunday finished second with a PB of 11.66s, while Omoyemi Lydia Ajayi-Bibilomo also clocked a lifetime best of 11.69s to place third.

The Junior races were equally electrifying.
