9) Ogho-Oghene Egwero
Former 100m national champion Egwero makes it into ninth spot in our ranking. He might have had a mixed National Championship after being beaten to 1st place by Ogunlewe, and had to settle for 2nd position; however he won his first individual medal for Nigeria in Brazzaville, clinching Silver in the men’s 100m.
He equalled his PB of 10.06s in the semifinal in Brazzaville, which is the fastest time done by a Nigerian his year. Incidentally, he posted the mark for the first time at the 2011 African Games in Maputo.
It is interesting to note: during his interview with us in Brazzaville, he explained to the Director General of the Sports Commission that he was able win something because he was implored to forego the World Championships in order to focus and train for the African Games.
Egwero is ranked at 44th on the IAAF 2015 Top list, and finished 2nd at the National Championships in Warri.
My guess is the list should include
Regina George
Tosin Oke
Samson Idiata
Chinazom Amadi
Oluwatobilola Amusan
Hope I’m right.
Well Mike you are close. Watch out for part 2 of the story to see if your picks made the final cut.
